Premier Borden anal his cabinet have the satisfaction at knowing that ,., ' c. their efforts to administer the af- fairs o1 this country wiseh and sane- ly meet with the sympathetic approval ,of a large majority of the people. The wheels of progress in Canada cannot be stopped by a band of dis- credited politica.as, The Highways bill having been 1 fl- ied by the Senate the farmers are now in a position too know. who their friends are, The Liberals have long boasted of their desire to help :he farmer. When a favorable opportun- ity came to show their professions had something behind them the Lib- erals failed to deliver the goods. Wheat prices for a year now Have been higher in Winnipeg than Min- neapolis. Last t L st Sat rda^ha Saturday, justa y nee quotation,. No. 1 hard was 98g in Winnipeg and 943f in Minneapolis These prices have killed the reci- procity bogey as far as wheat is con- cerned. The Borden Government seems likely to go down in history as one which deemed it a duty to carry out its pledges, That kind of a Govern- ment is somewhat of a novelty in Canada, The efforts being made by the Liberal Press to explain why the Na- val Bill was slaughtered by a body of in es,nonsible political pensioners are amusing as well as ingenious.

Why Some Men Are Angels Abroad and Demons at Home. There is a form of insanity, so well recognized that wills have been broken on the strength of it, that takes the form of brutality to those of one's own family when at the same time its victim is kind, benevolent and charm- ing to all outside. This is known to alienists and lawyers as "oikimania." Elistoric cases of it are those of Dean Swift, Mrs. John Wesley and the fa- ther of Frederick the Great. In women it generally takes the form of an un,"easoning and baseless jealousy, leading them to make life a burden to their husbands, to sulk per- versely at home wbile shining in so- ciety or spending much time in re ligious devotion or in works of benevo- leuce. In wen olidimania takes the form of active brutality to their wives and children. It is often acompanied by continuous and exhausting remorse, under the terrible consciousness that' they are torturing those they really love. But they are unable to shake off the habit. Sometimes, when the object of their persecution is dead, they themselves become actually in- sane. Such was the case with Dean Swift after the death of Stella, the victim of bis brutality, whet& he paid the penalty in pathetic alternations of delirium and melancholy. So well is this form of insanity recog- nized that the conrts will throw out the will of a man who has manifested it if this will cuts off' bts,natural heirs. -New York World - How They Cured Madness.

HITTING THE HYPHEN. One Would Hardly Think the Little Mark Was So Important. There is enougb energy wasted In placing the hyphen to "to -day," "to night" and "to -morrow" every week day to haul a passenger train around the world It is ehLitIed there are 2151, °U0,000, English writing people and that they average to hyphenate these words three tittles a day, Some may not average to do this more thati'three times a week and a few perhaps not three times a month; others write those wards and place the hyphens in them scores of times earl day, especially lansineeispaper teen, typewriters, authors, uess men. sehonl children and the like, The acquiring et sufficient power from making these hyphens each day to propel a passenger train around the world is figured on the bests that it takes half an ounce or energy to make the stroke either with pen or pencil and more for a typewriter that repre sents the hyphen, and this would„total 2,190,000 pounds of energy, or,'suffr stent for the train. It takes an ounce of energy to make the hyphen on a typewriting machine and three to make it on a typesetting. machine, and tbe statistician has fig ured that typewriting and typesetting machines alone take up sufficient en ergy each day to propel a battleship from New York to the i'anama canal All these figures were compiled as an argument against using the hyphen in these words Many people do not. but the majority do Those who are working toward greater efficiency in everything claim that the hyphen in these words is not at all necessary and should be discontinued by every nue, saving a great deal of valuable time and energy.—Philadelphia Ledger Mending Eggs. The' following Is taken from Farm and Fireside: "During the hatching season last spring. I had placed a sitting of fine eggs. A few days before the chicks were due two eggs were accidentally cracked and began to bleed, showing that the chicks were fully developed and alive I took the eggs from the nest very carefully, melted a little Dar atiin, and when it was slightly cool 1 poured it oyer the broken places of the eggshell. being careful not to corer any more surface than•was necessary "Both the eggs produced tine, healthy chicks that were raised to maturity.” The Name Ho Got. In some cases abbreviating a name improves it. In others it doesn't. For Instance, the Tuhbses thought they were doing honor to the Father of His Country as well as to their firstborn son whom they named George Wash ington Tubbs. But when 'he grew up the handle proved too long, so everyhcxiq dropped the (reorge, shortened up the middle name and called hila simply Wash Tubbs. -Judge.

Previous to using RHEUMA I was a cripple, walk- ing with crutches, and I feel it my duty to let other sufferers from Rheumatism know what it will do.
