' Mr. Andrew Carnegie and Sir William Mather, with others, have both become vice-presidents of the Peace Society, and have each promised £1,000 to the Ring Edward peaee propaganda fund, which they are anxious shall be participated in by asemany as possible, and for which it is proposed to rake at lease g50,000. The placing of it marble bust of King Edward by it distinguished sculptor, in the Peace Palace at The Hague, which was unanimously decided upon by the society at its annual meeting, is describ- ed by Mr. intrnegie as "a, most beautiful and. appronriate thing." Anything fur- ther will be a matter for thoughtful ad- ministration, and Mr. Carnegie has stip- ulated that any sum raised should be devoted to useful propaganda in per- petuation of Ring Edward's work, in promoting good -will and peace, and not be "frittered away in bricks and, mortar or in petty proposals." This strikes one as statesmanlike, and the most fitting form of it real memorial and one most in =cord with the late Ring's ahns and. ef- forts. Negotiations are, however, in progress to ascertain the wishes and to secure,the approval of the Ring and the. Queen -Mother. • MINARD'S LINIMENT CO., LIMITED: Gentlemen, -In June, '08, I had my hand and wrist bitten and badly man- gled by it vicious horse.

PARKE & PARKE HAMILTON Druggists CANADA 1 To Clean Paint. The ordinary whitening sold by gro- cers and stores is excellent for clean- ing paint, and does not injure it in the least. Mix it with cold water to the con- sistency of cream; wring a clean cloth out of warm water, squeeze it as dry as possible, dip it -in the whitening mixture, and rub the paint until all the stains disappear. A wooden skewer, such as butchers use, is excellent for pushing the cloth into crevices and corners. Rinse off the whitening with warm water and a clean cloth, and then wipe the paint as dry as possible. If rubbed until quite dry, the polish will be restored to the paint, and it will look like new.

Montreal. TALKING LIGHTHOUSES, A Swedish Invention to Give Mariners Warn Ing. Wonderful poesibilities are claimed for a Swedish invention called the photogra- phone, by means of which it is said that sound waves can be registered, on the sensitive plate. The negative is developed be the or- dinary way and the Bound curves trans- ferred to ebony plates, from which the sound is reproduced as by the gramo- phone. The photographone records can be re- produced ad infinitum, and if the origi- nal music or song should not be strong enough to fill a large concert hall, the sound can be increased as desired. On =count of the immense volume of its sound the inventor propheigies that the photographone will replace fog sirens in lighthouses. Instead of the inarticulate howl which the sirens send out in the night the pho- tographonic foghorn will call out the name of the lighthouse for miles over the oceren.-London Daily Graphic. • -4.
