In a lecture on "The I1istory of Ca. nadian Metallic Currency," Professor Adam Shortt said that copper coinage was very meagre in Canada in 1825, and even braes buttons were recogniz- ed as tender, In fact so many scraps of value were used as coppers that it be- eame an intolerable nuance and in. 1830 a nember of Oanadiaa b:ank'l lesu- ed copper hauls. tokens, About this time $10,000 of American five and ten - cent pieces were brought into Cana- da, and this no doubt helped to popularize the American specie,. In 1830 and 1837 the United States introduced the gold dollar, and issued shin -plasters at 25, 20 and 10 cents, and even as low ae 2c. In Lower Canada at this time French money was used, while in Up- per Canada English currency pre- dominated. No Canadian silver money had been issued, and money from all parts of the world was freely circulated throughout the Dominion so that now Canada is recognized as the richest collection ground in the world for old coins. This mixture of the money of so many different coun- tries became objectionable, and . an agitation was started for the use of one kind. At last, through the efforts of Sir Francis Hincks, one of the lead- ing Canadian statesmen of the day, the British Government became con- vinced that the decimal system would be suitable for Canada. January 4, 1858, marks the day when Canada re- ceived her first consignment of de- cimal coinags from the British mint. It consisted of $100,000 in twenty -cent pieces, $75,000 in ten -cent pieces, and $50,000 in one -cent pieces. Some sur- prise was expressed that no twenty- five cent enin was issued, but the Bri- tish shilling was intended to take its place, and this required the shilling to be somewhat over -rated. The making of the Canadian coins became very profitable to the British mint, and Canada was given a share in the profits. At last, however, the Cana- dian Government came to the conclu- sion that it would pay Canada to have a mint of her own, and a mint at Ot- tawa was established. It was owing to the great profits in making her own silver money that Canada went to such an expense to rid the country of American silver in 1870. —Kent county reports of a very heavy fruit crop. , YOU TAKE NO RISK, Our Reputation And Money Are Back Of This Offer.

The regular ;monthly meeting of the Wotuart's Obrintian Temperance Union was held on Tuesday afternoon, May 01.11. The reports given from the different departments allow the work to be interesting and encouraging.. As many as fifty homes liave been visited since the Union was organized. Drinking is far more the cause of poverty, than poverty is the cause of drinking, "Personal Liberty"—To do what one's own conscience allows is as valu- able now as in Paul's time. But each one has also the personal liberty (not to do things which may injure others by his example.) It is this which makes total abstinence a virtue and one of the trainers of virtue. Cotn- puisory abstinence is only a state prison virtue. But abstinence because the following of our inclinations may lead the young astray is a heavenly virtue. The Emperor William once gave a dinner at the palace in Berlin to five representative students in connection with the centenary celebration of the Berlin University, He delivered a `little speech on the text—"Less Beer and more Sport." He said the College beer -drinking clubs Were leading to physical, mental and moral damage to the youths of Germany. He adjured them to reduce theie enthusiasm for that form of amusement and to in- crease their interest in contests, London's daily consuniption of beer would need a barrel more than half the size of one of the pillars of the "Tower Bridge." Fsorn drink with its sorrows, ruin and sin, I surely ani safe, if I never begin. How He Did It. Tho Kincardine Review says that a Huron farmer reading figures that showed American prices to be higher than Canadian prices for barley said : "I got 01 cents for my barley last year." On being asked to explain how he got so much more than .either the Canadian or, American price, he answered : "I fed it to my hogs," "The Liver Pills act So Naturally and Easily." Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have - in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and also your Anti -Pain Pills, on myself, with good results. The Liver Pills act so naturally and so easily that I scarcely know that I have taken apill Frequently Y being troubled with headache I take an Anti -Pain Pill and get immediate relief in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta, Ill. Mr. Wilson was for a number of years cashier of the First National hank of Sparta. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, with- out griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return the price. Ask him. MILES MEDICAL. CO., Toronto, Can.
