SANCTUM PARACIRAPIIS,
-Hon. Clifford Sifton, formerly
a member of the *Laurier Cabinet,
+04.strongly urges the people of Canada
to defeat Reciprocity, which he claims
is bound to be injurious to the
country,

-The Toronto World of Thursday
laat had this news item :---
A. Fisher of Chatham Town-
ship yesterday bronght in sixty-
six hoge, which he sold to John
Donnovan and received in return
a cheque for $925 70.
That indicates a first-class home mar-
ket, which some would have ne sacri-
fice, or at least endanger, by throwing
it open to the raisers of hogt3 across
the Hoe, Well on to a thonsand dol-
lars for (36 hogs, or over $15 eaeh,
ought to be satisfactory. Arthur
Fisher seemed to be well satiefied. It
was more than be would have receiv-
ed for his hogs in either Buff:do or
Chicago at the ruling pikes in the
-1( ninety million nutiket, and a great
deal more than he would get if the
"ninety millions" had free access to
the Canadian market. Think it
over.

-Parliament has been dissolved,
and the country will for the next
seven weeks be in the excitement and
turmoil of an election campaign. The
date of the elections is September 21st,
with nominations a week earlier.
This is no surprise to many, for it is
now known, that the Premier had
decided that it would be necessary to
appeal to the country, and before he
left to attend the Coronation cere-
monies, he gave orders to prepare for
an election by having the voters' lists
printed. Toronto Saturday Night re-
rninds its readers, that in its issue of
May 27, it announced that prepara-
tions were being made for an election
1e -during the last week of September.
The same paper points out that with
reasonable haste, the census might
have been taken and the redistribution
made, so that the West would not
have been deprived of ite fair
representation:
* * *
-Hon, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is with-
out doubt an able politician, lent when
he assumes the role of protector or
champion of Canadian autonomy he
acts and talks' utter nonsense. Cana -
diens are quite satisfied with their
present relations to the Empire. If
Sir Wilfrid means Canadian indepen-
dence of the motherland, he will find
few sympathizers outside of Quebec,
and that factlends color to the sug-
gestion that the Premier is playing to
the Quebec gallery for support, think-
ing it may stop the force of the title
turning against him in that province.
In any came, the hon. gentleman is in-
consistent, to prate about being the
champion of Canadian autonomy, and
at the same time endeavor to force up-
on Canada a Reciprocity agreement
that will make her dependent upon
the 'United States (so far as her tariff
is concerned) and if the fears of many
are realized, tend towards political
union, to which the Canadian people
are unalterably opposed.

With 221 members of the House of
Commons, and 87 Senators (or a total
of 308) the business of Canada ought
to be well looked after. The increase
of population in the West will entitle
it to a larger representation in the
Coinmone, when the rearrangement
of the constituencies is made. Clas-
sified politically, the members of the
Parliament just dissolved, were es

a sketch of his life is not obtainable as
we close our forms.
Died in Detroit.
This week, we have to report the
death of a young lady well known in
Winghtun, Miss Edith It. Greer,
danghter of the late Geo. Greer of
Lucknow. The young lady died in
Detroit on August 1st, aged 27. She
had been in poor health for sonae thne.
The remains were brought to Luck -
now on Wednesday for interment
there. She leaves three brothers, two
af wbom live at Lucknow, and five
sisters; of the latter, Mrs. McDonald
and Mrs. Salkeld live near Goderich.
The young lady was highly respected
and had many friends. She was a
member of the Methodist Church.
A Michigan Visitor.
Mr. and Mrs, Thos, Watt, formerly
of Wingham, now of Mb, Mich., have
been visiting friends in Wingham and
Bluevale. Both look well, and if we
mistake not, are Still cherishing the
hope of returning to Wingham to
live, for they have not lost their love
of this town. Speaking with Mr.
Watt on Reciprocity, .he says it is
quite popular in Michigan, but if Ca-
nadians take" his advice, they will re-
ject the pact.' Ile says, that Canada is
regarded by many as a very small
affair, and they think it will eventual-
ly belong to the United States; it is
only a matter of time, and they look
upon Reciprocity as a step in that
direction, For that reason, if for no
other, Mr. Watt considers that the
proposed trade agreement should be
rejected by the Canadian people. Mr.
Watt returned to Mb o on Monday,
but Mrs. Watt will visit here for a
month. '

Be it known to all good housewives,
who etruggle with dull knives and

does peaches, ete„ the skin and eyes
can be removed easily, the length of
time left in water being dependent on
the ripeness of the fruit, A few ex-

A Brother Deceased.
Mr. Richard James is recovering by
degrees from the effects of the acci-
dent that befell him a few weeks ago.
On Monday morning, Mr. James re-
ceived word of the death a his
brother Philip, of Mitchell, We have
no particulars for this week, except
that the deceased had been ill for a
long time, Besides his partner in life,
he leaves one daughter, Mrs, Ludsvick,
and one son, Philip, of Hibbert. Mr.
and Mrs, James both left on Monday
to attend the funeral. Deceased was
73 years of age.
Cabbage Worms.
The kreen caterpillars that oat the
leaves of the cabbage are sometimes
quite destructive. There are two
broods during the year. These cater-
pillars can be controlled quite readily
by dusting the cabbages with a mix-
ture of pyrethrum insect powder and
flour (1 to 4) Mix the two substances
together thoroughly and leave stand-
ing over night in a closed jar. The
mixture can then be put into a cheese-
cloth bag and dusted over the cab-
bages by tapping the bag lightly with
a stick, Or the pyrethrum may be
dissolved in lukewarm water at the
rate of 2 ounces to three gallons, and
sprayed on the cabbages. Pyrethrum
is harmless to man.
A Good Daily.
Now that the elections are almost
upon us, the public will be more than
ever interested in their daily paper.
The Reciprocity issue, which will be
the chief topic of discussion, is of
vital intereet to every citizen of Cana-
da, and to keep closely in touch with
the campaign a daily paper is a neces-
sity. The Toronto News is the leader
in the fight against the ratification of
this pact, and with its able editorials
and complete news services is doing a
good work. We have an arrangement
with this paper whereby We are able
to offer it together with The Advance
for. 32 35 per annuna. This is a re-
markably cheap offer, and should be
taken advantage of now oo that you
can keep thoroughly posted.
Not Wanted.
Only last week, from an advertising
agency, the Advance had a request for
advertising space for a Toronto de-
partmental store, In the first place,
we have no space to spare, and
secondly, if we had, no greedy, grasp-
ing departmental affair would get it,
in opposition to our home merchants,
who live here, help pay the town
taxes, eupport our Ohuches, and help
to pay for our sidewalks, sewers,
waterworks, etc., etc. No, the To-
ronto departmentals, that are reach-
ing out their tentacles for the trade of
the home town, will have to seek
other methods of advertising than in
the Advance. We stand for Wing -
ham and its interests. The merchants
are Equare ; they treat their custo-
mers right, and need all the trade that
is going. Others may send their
good cash to swell the bank account
of millionaire merchants elsewhere -
hut we live in Wingham, and trade
here, and wish to see others do so.
A Fatal Accident.
A lamentably sad accident happened
on Monday forenoon, bringing be-
reavement to one home and universal
regret throughout the town. W. G.
Gray's team was standing in front of
W. F. VetaStone's office, when minim
goods were being unloaded, when
something frightened the horses, and
they started to run, heading across
the road towards the Bank of Hamil-
ton. Mr. Gray "made a effort to Seize
the lines, but only secured one, and
the team turned on to the east side-
walk. jest at that time, Edith, the
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
jareis, 'Was passing along with the
.baby in a Carriage e.t.a her little
brother • about four years, walking
beside her. Seeing the team turning
towards her, Edith phehed the ter-
rine and her little brother aside and
neither the baby nor the little boy
was hurt, but the horses Strek Edith
as they ran, and it is thought they
stepped Upon her, or the wheels of the
dray passed over her. She was car-
ried to Dr. Agnety's office, and receiv-
ed attention. Towards noon, ehe was
taken home, and she appeared
brighter. In a *short time, she became
worse, and the physician *as hestlly
summoned, Ira in a little while, Edith

bright girl, about twelve years of age,
and a great help to her mother, Her

Sunday School Excursion,
This event was well patronized and
two specter trains carried the excur-
sionists to the lake shore. Tlae weath-
er was ideal, and the day- passed Very
enjoyably, WIneham Citizens' Band
furnishing excellent musics at inter -
vale. The lacrosse match between
Wingham and Kincardine was won
by the latter, on a score of 8 to 3,
Palau! Accident,
The Advance regrets to report that
Mr, Irwin Pattison met with an
accident tn the Union factory on Mon-
day. While engaged at his work, a
piece of board, being put through a
machine near at hand by another
workman, flew from the saw with
great force, striking Mr. Pattison on
the left cheek, inflicting a wound that
required a number of stitches to
close,
Liberal Convention. •
A convention of the Liberals of East
Huron is announced to be held in
Brussels, on Friday, August 4, to
nominate for the House of Commons
for the approaching general election.
The Advance has heaad only two
names mentioned, viz :-Arch. Hyslop
of Grey and W. H. Kerr of Brussels.
The Liberals figure on being able to
swing East Huron into the Liberal
column again. The Toronto Star
(Liberal) forecasts it as "doubtful"
Conservative.
This Hen Likes Kittens.
Mrs. Geo. Clifford, who lives not far
from Leamington, tlie other day set a
hen on some eggs in a corner of the
manger in her barn. In the opposite
end was a family of very young kit-
tens. The hen seemed to take more
interest in the little kittens, than she
did in the eggs, and no sooner would
the old cat leave the manger than the
hen would take her place and cover
the kittens. She refuses to be driven
away, and Mrs. Gifford is trying to
devise some scheme by which pussy
can be made to sit on the eggs, just to
even matters up.
East Huron Conservatives.
The Nominating Convention for the
Conservatives of East Huron will be
held in Brussels on Tuesday of next
week, August 8th. A full represen-
tation from all part i of the riding is
desired, and three delegates from each
polling subdivision will be allowed
voting power. Convention assembles
at one o'clock p.m., and addresses will
be delivered by prominent Conserva-
tives of the Riding. The issue of the
day being the Trade agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States,'
East Huron should again return a
supporter of R. L. Borden. The elec-
tion is dated for September 21, with
nomination September 14; hence the
time is none too long for full discus-
sion and sober thought. Let there be
a full delegated representation at the
convention on Tuesday next.

Missionary Conference.
The first annual Missionary Confer-
ence under the Missionary Education-
al Movement for Western Ontario,
met in Woodstock College My 24-31,
with a registration of 128, represent-
ing seven denominations. Fourteen
missionaries were there from India,
China, Tepan, Africa and South Am-
erica. The whole Conference, under
the able leadership of Dr Mackay,
Moderator of the Presbyterian Church
of Canada, fulfilled its four -fold object
in (1) deepening the spiritual life of
its delegates; (2) preparing for leader-
ship in the home church; (3) impart-
ing knowledge of world -fields; (4) lead-
ing some to life decisions. Plans were
laid for aggressive work to interest
others in next year's Conference.
South America presents the darkest
picture because of its insensibility to
its own low moral standards. Central
Africa stands at the beginning of
things. Li. Drummond said "When
one steps into Central Africa by the
east and the west, you step back into
civilization 5000 years." India is still
bound by caste, but work among the
children is hopeful. The Bible ex-
position, addresses and Institute Hours
made the delegates sorry for those
who had not come.-Coet.
Augnst Weather.
Mercurial cloudiness and summer
storms to eastern parts of the coun-
try, during the first two to three days
of August. On and touching these
dates, look for marked increase of
temperature, falling barometer and
moderate to light, misty rains. Theee
will not be sufficient for crops not
matured, except ins some localities
and in eastern sections, The period
from 6th to 141h will bring threaten-
ing clouds, fall of the barometer and
violent, blustering winds. Relief
from great warmth will follow dis-
turbances at this time, and many sec-
tions will get light to moderate rains,
but not sufficient for general agricul-
tural needs. On and about the 13th, a
crisis of electrical and seismic disturb-
ance. Note this forecast. The qua-
drature of Saturn falls on the quadra-
ture of Mars on the 8th-faets greatly
tending to seismic trouble. The
period central on the 17th and 18th,
calls for renewed summer heat, fall-
ing barometer and blustering storms.
A show 6f rain, amounting to showers
in scattered sections, will result, at
this, and other August storm periods.
Make the most of them for you will
surely need them. A regular storm
period cover the 20th to 25th. Earth's
antumnal equinox will bear on this
period, moon being in perigee and at
new, tidal dangers and equinoctial
storms are indicated for the gulf
regions at this time. The moon being
on the celestial equator On the 26th,
may bring thunder storms and fill the
time between' this and the preced-
ing period with threatening, stormy
weather.
