A WORD TO THE WISE.
[New York Mail.]
If, faireat Helen, I refrain
From speaking of my adoration,
Let it, I pray, not give you pain —
'Tis not from lack of inclination.
Believe me, I would rather breathe
into your shell-like ear my passion;
About your head an aureole wreathe
Of winged words, R. Browning
fashion,
Than, in a few cold printed staves,
Explain the feelings that imbule me.
Alas, my tongue and I are slaves!
Yet, though I doubt not censure's
due me.
Pray, on my luckless pate don't
pound
With words of wrath decending
sledge -wise -
1 can' t speak, for, when you're around,
I cannot get a word in edgewise.

A temperance lecturer was enthus-
iastically denouncing the use or all in-
toxicants.
"I wish all the beer, all the wine, all
the whiskey in the world was at the
bottom of the ocean," he said,
Hastily Pat arose to his feet.
"Sure and so do I sor," he shouted.
"1 wish every bit of it was at the bot-
tom of the sea."
As they were leaving the hall the
lecturer encountered Pat.
"I certainly am proud of you," he
said. "It was a brave thing for you to
rise and say what you did, Are you a
teetotaler?"
"No, indeed sorr," answered Pat,
"I'm a diver."

Electricity For Heating.
An article in Consevation estimates
electrical energy at one and one-fifth
cents per kilowatt hour as being eqiva-
lent to gas at 60c. per thousand feet
for heating purposes, Coal at $8 per
ton is equal to electricity for heating
purposes even when the latter is sup-
plied as low as nine -tenths of one cent
per kilowatt hour. Since the cost of
electricity is around 8c. per kilowatt
hour, even in the cities in this Province,
when supplied in small volume, it is
evident that either coal must become
much dearer or electricite much cheap-
er before there is a substitution of the
two agents for heating purposes. In
some English cities, however, electri-
city is supplied for heating at a cant
per kilowatt hour, and in Sweden it
goes as low as half a cent. With the
increasing development of water power
in Ontario, and the adoption of improv-
ed methods of applying the energy, we
may some day expect to see our water-
falls use d for heating our houses.

WINGIIAifl TIMES, JANUARY 29 1914
UP AT HUDSON BAY,
toentors of Townsite Tell of an Inter-
esting Trip,
Members of the Dominion Govern-
ment hydrographic survey party sent
to locate a harbor at Port Nelson, the
future terminus of the Hutisou E
Railway, have brought back to eivill-
eation interesting tales of a winter
spent in that outpost of eivilizatiou.
beavieg Winnipeg on June 10, 1912,
the overland party, consisting of four
engineers, six half-breeds and six In-
dians, went by foot as far as Norway
House. From here the journey was
b canoe down the Hayee River to
York Factory, —hide was reached
early in the month of July. Port Nei -
eon, the final destination, lay acmes
the mouth of the river, some fifteen
or sixteen miles from York Factory,
The locality chosen as ti • site of a
future town and terminus Is rather
l0s. and swampy, and p'resented a de-
solate appearance, with the marshy
ground covered with patchy growths
of small spruce and tamarac. Mos-
quitoes yard black flies abounded, and
added their quota to the discomforts
of the party. The first few days, of
course, were spout in the erection of
a summer camp, tents being pitched
and provisions stored for the fall,
Early in October several log shanties
were constructed, anu into the com-
parative comfort of these the men
moved during that 'swath.
Tb 3 winter sets in early in latitude
67 degrees north, and the working
day soon contracted to the period be-
tween 8.30 a.m. and 4 p.m. The
sounding was coalineed throughout
the winter, the channel being frozen
over for a distance of twelve or thir-
teen miles from shore. Each morn-
ing the party left the comfortable log
but headquarters and proceeded to
the epot set out for the day's opera-
tions. Here a tent was generahy
pitched on the ice and a bole broken,
through which the apparatus could
be lowered into the water. If far
from headquarters the members of
the party ate their lamb In the tent,
and thus saved a mid-day trip to the
s',ore. In this way the channel was
sounded directly out to the or' i wat-
er during a winter where the average
temperature was 23 degrees below
zero.
But what of the nights? Several
miles away was York Factory, with
Its handful of souls—the factor and
his family, the minister and his wife
and a few traders. York Factory of-
fered little in the way of social en-
joyment. The result was that the
party spent the long evenings at
heat% tarters, amusing themselves
with cards or reading the small lib-
rary brought in under coneiderable
hardship. One hundred and fifty re-
cords and a phonograph chased away
boredom for awhile, but records can
become stale even at Port Nelson,
and the "canned" mum gave way to
the rather less stilted performances
of a three-piece string orchestra,
Once or twice in the long winter the
monotony was broken by calls from
transients, who arranged to pass a
night with the "boys," the Mounted
Police patrol making several such
visits. Then, of course, there was
Christmas Day, when several fancy
touches were given the menu card
and when two engineers dropped in
from the neighborhood of Split Lake
to enjoy the festivities of the day.
Every second Sunday during the win-
ter season the minister from York
Factory appeared at headquarters,
bringing with him his two -by -two
hand organ, and the day was observ-
ed with due decorum.
Communication with "tire outside"
was practically cut off for several
months, the first naail after October
arriving by dog -train about Jan. 12.
In the summer it came in by canoe
from Norway House. This isolation
was rendered less serious by the
abundance of good food in the cook's
larder, During the entire season fresh
raeat was daily on the table, the par-
ty finding plenty of game, such as
caribou, wild geese and ducks, and
ptarmigan. This supply of fresh and
appetizing food no doubt contributed
much to the health of the men.
Though a doctor was among their
number till the month of April, 1918,
practically not a case of a serious na-
ture demanded his attention—Toron-
to Saturday Globe.
A Reminiscence of 13. D. Osier.
A will containing a bequest to the
Sisters of Charity of 'Hamilton, an
Order of Nues, was contested by the
heirs on the ground that the Sisters
of Charity had never been incorporat-
ed, and therefore had no legal exist-
ence.
The lawyer on the other hand, con-
tended that the Sisters of Charity
were well known and easily distin-
guished from the publie by their dress
and other ways.
"As far as I remember," remarked
Mr. 13. 13. Osier, the opposing counsel,
"Charity has but two Sisters, 'Faith'
and 'Hope,' and I think the court will
bear me out it saying they were never
heard of in Hamilton,"
PIMPLES
Are an
"EYE SORE."
Pimples art caused by the blood being
Out of order. Those little festering
sores appear on the forehead, on the nose,
on the chin and other parts of the body,
and although they are not a dangerous
trouble they are very unsightly to both
you and your friends.
There is only one way to get rid of
them, and that is to purify the blood.
Burdock Blood Bittets is without a
doubt the best remedy on the market
for this purpose.
Wm. F. Donohue, Jr., Hamilton, Ont.,
writes:—"About six months ago my
little son's face was literally Covered with
pimples. I tried every preparation
was told of by tny fricads, but to no
avail. Soon I thought I could not have
them fixed up, awl would have to wait,
and let hint grow out of them, but
thin& to Burdock Blood Bitters they
are all gone, and X gladly recommend it
to anyone."

looni up and cast their dark shadows
over court, and ..audience and pris-

That shadow rested upon the Court
of King's Bench recently, says a writ-
er in The Montreal Standar., when
ten men received the reward of

tragedy of their lives, and no wonder
they stead there with trembling lips
and blanched cheeks, and wi't
streaming syes, too, before they step-
ped from the dock and began their
journey to the penitentiary.

They were dressed in prison gart

able looking specimens of humanity
of low Intelligence, brutal, even rem
eious. In the dock one of these mis-
erable ereaturee betrayed his accom-
pliee. They bad aasaulted a prison
guard; and, when asked if they had
anything to say before being sentenc-
ed, one charged the other with being
the instigator. Partaers in crime, one
was traitor to tire other when both
otood at the judgment bar.
Singly or in, couples, the prisoners
came to the dock, and then turned
away with the weight of their sen-
tences upon them. Before them lay
the- short journey that ends at the
iron -bound gate in the grim stone-
wall.
