As pathrnasters ,in be doing statute labor during this nlionth, a few words may be of profit if follewed. Mr. Campbell, road instructor; is paid a good salary for giving advice on 1 rola' making and some ot 1 his advice should. be followed, He says a hundred pathinasterk m a townships are not as good as twenty-five, and each pathmaster ehould have from thtee to five miles of road to superintend. A hundred men have a hundred different a as about roadmaking and. 1 think he is right there. We have a hundred and thirty athmasters in McKil- lop, just one hundred too many. He says all roads should be grad d twenty-four feet at least and well rounded and watertabled. Ditches made to take water away and not left standing on sides of roades. All teams drawing gravell shonld draw a quarter of a cord at a load and every team should draw equal loads. We only require one- fifth of a cord to the load and nearly half the teams, doing statiite labor do not draw one-tenth of a cord at a load. Some men with equal days' work do not do more than half what others do in the same time, and this continues for years. The township pays for about 1,700, cords of gravel each year and where does' it go to people often ask. In repairing roads, Mr. Campbell says to put the gravel where needed and roll with a common roller if no other is to be had. A few rollings after showers of rain would soon make a good road. Stones as large as goose eggs are no use for repairing roads nor is it good to heap up the gravel. Spread it evenly in the centre of the road and roll after showers. Let pathmasters try some of his advice. , JOHN C. MonnISON.

Smith.—The !deny friends of Mr. Wm. Dinin'of this place, will be pleased to learn that he is recovering from his late illness, and it is hoped he wilt soon be able to resume work.—Measles are prevalent in this locality. Quite a number of cases are reported.—During the severe thunderstorm which passed over this place on Sunday last, lightning struck a large poplar tree in front of Wesley Armstrong's house, on the Thames road, but fortunatelya no further damage was done.—Statute labor is the order of the day. It is a pity that our roads should be spoiled at this sea- son of the year, just when we might have two or three months of good wheeling. Surely this work might be done in the fall of the year and save a great deal of incon- venienee to the travelling public, • besides the extra wear to vehicles,—Owing to the continued wet weather, the potatoes plant- ed on ion land are reported to have rotted, so that it will be necessary to replant them. • Lakelet. BRIEFS.—We have a second store in the - burg now. A Mr. Brisbin, who formerly , held forth in Harriston, is in with his stock of gods. Time will reveal whether or not the undertaking will pay. Mr. DulMage, who has been here for nearly a score of years, has given good satisfaction and keeps an excellent general store.—Many from here attended the funeral of Mrs. McIntosh', of Huntingfield, on Saturday. .The old . lady was one of the first settlers of Howick, and to her zeal and perseverance ' much of the saccess of the -McIntosh congregation is at- tributed; No eaerifice was too great so long an it was instrumental in furthering the good cauee. Her funeral on Saturday was very largely attended.—Mr. and Mrs.James Ritchie visited relatives in Galt lest week. —The masons have finished the walls of Messrs. Galbraith, Carson and Lowish, and now the next" order of business will be a raising at each place.—Last Tuesday night a tramp entered the residence of Mr. A. S. Allan, Clifford, and though the house was lit up, had the audicity to take Mr. -Allan's gold watch, which was lying on the table. We have not heard of the thief being cap- tured.—There is a bible class started in connection with the church here and meets every Sunday evening at 7.30.—bur Fores- ters went to Gorrie last Sunday to hear ,a Forester's sermon preached by the Rev. Mr , Gurnie.—The hogs are getting pretty well cleaned out of this part of the country. Mr. Walls'of Clifford, and another man from Tavistock, were round last week and bought up a car load of feeders for a cheese factory at Tavistock. Theyt*-e paying 5c per pound for good hogs around here.— Statute labor is in full swing these days. Most of the pathmasters have their men out.—Nearly every one in our town was at G-orrie last Monday, to hear the trial of Jacques vs. Howick township council. Some two years ago the council allowed some gravel to be taken off Mr. Jacques' property, and no satisfactory arrangements of the cost could be obtained. Mr. Jacques sued the council and had Mr. Dickinson, of Wingham, to plead his cause, while the council had Mr. Murphy, of Listowel. We believe the jury gave Mr. Jacques $6 in -all, a sum much -less than the council had agreed to give him. The eosts will amount to be- tween $50 and$100, which are to be paid by the township.—The entrance examinations will not be held in Clifford this year, as there were not sufficient applications sent in. As we intend going out of the Crockery %usiness, we are offering some of the best bargains ever given in the county in Dinner, Tea and Toilet Sets. We have a good col- lection to choose from, and the prices are away clown below the usual. Our Stock of Groceries -Vill be found complete as usual. In Teas, 'We are giving extra values; our Japan Tea -at 20e and 25e per pound, cannot be beat. Although currants and raisins are higher than last year, we are selling a good cleaned --currant at 5e per pound.

The Bladder CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS MI% I was troubled for three years with inflammation of ,the blad- der, the neck of which was near- ly closed' up. Doctors and medi- cines gave me no relief until tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Seven boxes completely cured me. I work in Tuckett's tobacco fac- tory, and all my fellow -employes know of my disease and can testify to my wonderful cure. • THOMAS JOYCE, • 124 Peter St., Hamilton. Dodd's Kidney Pills Always cure Bladder Troubles. ed almost unconsciously it is Well that learners should be on their guard. The bicycle face is a wellaknotvn malady in America, an is rapidly becoming prevalent in Britian. As the habit is generally due, in the first instance, to nervousness, it is obvious that considerable self-hontrol and will power must be exercised to overcome the tendency to contract the facial muscles. Whenever you feel that the muscles of the face are contracting in the way 1 have de- scribed, the lips firmly ccmpressed, and the eyes strained, pull yourself together and make a persistent effort to relax the features as much as possible. A gentleman who was discussing the pros and cons of bicycle riding with me a few days ago, said :—" I never think a woman looks her best on a bicycle. Nine out of ten of them wear such an anxious expression—just as if they were working a treadmill." I smiled, but I could only agree that there was some truth in the assertion. • Things Worth ICnowing. Encourage your boys to keep pets. Noth- ing is better for keeping them out of mis- chief than natural history. A little cream rubbed into black kid kloves will prevent the dye from coming off ; it also gives them a nice gloss. Vegetables should be secured as fresh as possible, and only the quantity required bought, as they -spoil with keeping. A new invention in footwear in London is a pneumatic bag or air cushion inserted be- tween the sole and insole, and so arranged that it can be removed for repairs. When the,Queen, now in .her 78th year,. ascended the, throne'the poke bonnet was the moat characterietic feature of the femin- ine attire. That was in the year 1837. A soft woollen cloth, plenty of rubbing, and a tablespoonful of vinegar mixed with three of pure raw linseed oil, will make a mahogany dinher table shine like a mirror. Sweet peas should be placed in the sick room to drive away flies in summer, as these insects have a strong dislike to the odor of the blooms, whereas invalids. do not, as a rule object to it. • Bot water cans and jugs made of tin will' last very much longer if turned upside down directly they are emptied and while hot. It is the few drops remaining at the bottom which rust and make tiny holes. A soft corn, which is very painful, can be greatly relieved, and sometimes cured, by making a salve of fine toilet soap, scraped fine, and glycerine enough so it can Spread easily. Put it on the corn every night un- til relieved. When a person falls into the water a com- mon felt hat may be made use of as a life preserver. By placing the bat upon the water, rim down, with the arm round it, and pressing it slightly to the breast, it will hear a man up for hours. • Silk or ribbons that, are t� be packed away should be rolled in brown paper, as ,,the chloride of lime in white paper will dis- color them. White satin should be folded "in blue paper, and a brown paper put out- side and pinned loosely together at the edges. • A NOVA SCOTIA CASE. the shop by saying, in a loud, shrill voice', "No, I- ain't spending your money" or no other man's money, and "I beg your pardon, madam," cried the oonfused gentlemen. "I supposed you were my wife, and—" "Well, I just ain't your wife nor no other man's wife thank fortune, in be scolded every time 1 buy a yard of ribbon! I pity your wife if you go about shaking her like you did me. If I was her I'd—" The chagrined joked waited to hear no more, but made his way out of the shop, amid the titters and sly chuckles of those who had witnessed his oonfunionn How Your Feet are Ill -Used. If you stand upon one foot, you stand practically upon a tripod; that is, your weight is resting chiefly upon three points— the heel, the ball of the great toe, and the ball of.the little toe. If the foot is- bare, all three pointe are upon the same level, and the foot is broadest at the toes. Also, between your heel behind and the other two points of the tripod in front— more especially marked between the heel and the ball of the great toe—is a beautiful arch of bone and ligament. Twelve boaes go to form this arch, the. ligaments join them, and between the bones are little elas- tic pads of cartilage acting as buffers. I The shape of the foot and the power of *the bone, ligament, cartilage and muscle, to play their part freely, are neeessery for a graceful movement. But for some reason or another this graceful and complex in- strument doesn't please you, so you distort not only your own feet, but probably very early in your children's lives you set about spoiling their feet too. Pointed toes are "fashionable," forsooth. Let us be honest if we may, and healthy if we can; but let us be fashionable at all wets. So, regardless of the fact that our great toe is our longest toe, also that it is the most useful in walking, we decide that it should be about the same length as the little one, and that the longest toe must be in the middle. So we get pointed toes, re- gardless of the great toe being in the line of the inner edge of the loot, and we cram these shoes on. The great toe protests. It develops in- growing toe -nails, perhaps, or it insists on a certain amount of the room, and so crushes the poor little toe against the other side of. the shoe that it gets corns. Still there is not room enough, and the great toe begins to give away. It retreats towards the mid- dle line, crushing up the other toes. What comes next.? Well, there is a muscle running along the foot that pulls upon the big toe; if the toe is straight, the muscle pulls it straight.; but if the toe -tip is pushed inward, then the muscle pulls it further in,. and the other end—that is, where the toe springs from the foot—is push- ed on, and this is the ugly thing called a bunion. Rather Awkward. "Many a shaft of random sent" hit some- thing or other which the archer little meant to touch. We have heard an anecdote illus- trative of this truth which was told to us as a genuine history. - It happened in a large city—never mind what city. Suffered without Help—Eighteen Years getting Worse—Cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. BRID(:EWATER, N. S.,.June 21 (Special)— There is no man in this town better known than J. S. Morgan, tinsmith, who for eight- een years had.been going from bad to worse without help until at last he got hold of the right treatment. He says : "It began with the backache, pains in the limbs, and finally settled down as rheumatism. I was a cripple, and after 1 ran down greatly in weight the doctors said it was Diabetes. About a year and a half ago I quit, every- thing else and took Dodd's Kidner Pills. Have taken twenty-three boxes, and have regained my weight, health and strength. I am perfectly cured." • The Bicycle Face. One of the evils which I would warn my -fair bicycling friends to be on their guard against is the acquirement of that terrible malady "the bicycle face." The possession of the "bicycle face" is no enviable one, can assure you, and although easily ac- quired is not so readily remedied as might be supposed. It attacks,- principally, very nervous riders, and in feet, if you take the trouble to scan the countenances of the bicycle riders—men and women—whom you meet in the streets, you will notice that large numbers of them Wear a strained, fixed expression, and that this iegenerally more noticeable in roads or streets Where them is a good deal of traffic. If not cor- rected in time the face gradually settles into a hunted, drawn look, the brows be- come contracted, and there is a rigid appearance about the eyes which is the reverse of prepossessing. The trouble is that this expression does not pass away, but becomes habitual, and as it is contract- There were two pretty sisters who had married, one an eminent lawyer, the other e distingaished literary man. Literary male dies, and leaver younger sister a widow. Some years roll away, and the widow lays aside her weeds. Now, then, it happene that a certain author and critic has occasion on a boiling day in suminer to call on the ,eminent lawyer, husband of the elder sister. He finds the lawyer pleading and sweltering in a crowded court,sees that the lawyer is suffering dreadfully from the heat, pities him'rejoices that he is not a lawyer, and goes for a cool, saunter under the shel- tering trees of a fashionable park and gar- den. Among the ice -eating, fanning 4oved there, he meets the younger of the tWo sisters'and for a moment thinks he is talk- ing to the elder. • It is a Mistake. To work when you are not in fit condition to do 80. To sltsep exposed to a direct draught at any season. To conclude that the 'smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in. T, To think that the more a person eats the healthier and stronger he will become. To take off heavy underclothing out of season simply because you have become overheated. To imagine that if a little work or exer- cise is good, violent or prolonged exercise is better. To think any nostrum or patent medicine 18 a specific fizt all the disease i that flesh is heir to. - To go to bed late at night and rise at day- break, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. , To believe that children can do as much work as grown people, and that the more they study the more they learn. To give unnecessary time to a certain established routine of housekeeping when it could be mach more profitably spent in rest or recreaticin. To imagine that whatever remedy Cause* one to feel immediately better—as alcholic stimulants -1s good for the system, without regard to the after effects. To eat as if you had only a minute in which to'finish the meal, or to eat without an appetite, or to continue after it has been satisfied merely to gratify the taste. • He Left. "Oh, Mr.—," says the la,ly, dreadfully hot it is here !" "Yes, malam," replies our luckless crit c, "it is hot here; but I can assure yon the heat of this place isn't a circumstance when compared with the heat of the place wheire your poor dear husband is suffering to- day." 1 A horror-stricken expression comes , oVer the face of the lady; she rises from her chair, and flounces indignantly away. ' • Meals Followed by Sleep. L This question has been much discuss, d, with varying opinions, by the best autheri- ties. Recently, to test the advantagee, as assumed by many, of a nap after a dinner meal, Dr. Schule, of Fribourg, undertook a series of experiments on two normal sub- jects. In earring out this purpose the 'Ion - tents of the stomach were carefully ex- amined and analyzed a few hours after meals, some of the latter being followed by sleep and some not—the results indicatfing that such sleep weakens the stomach's movements, while the acidity of the gastric juice is increased'on the other hand, Sim- ple repose in a horizontal position stiinu- lates the motion of the stomach without increasing the acidity of the gastric juice. Thus it is well to stretch one's self out for rest, but not for sleep, after a hearty meal, if the stomach is not too dilated or its jiuices very acid. • About .Nails. Many women with pretty hands are pone stantly annoyed by the rough appearanne of their finger nails, caused- by the fact that they break and split. The poseessor of such nails should cut them with well -sharpened manicure sciseors, and the naiV should never be cut or soaked in warm water. The brightness may some- times be lessened by rubbing almond oil thordughly into the naila and finger ends on retiring at night. A pair of old kid gifoves must then be pulled on. The housekeeper whose nails break wily should never stir anything on the hot i1ange 58, her A laughable but very embarrassing case of mistaken identity occurred -the other day in a large draper's ahop. A gentleman who is a little too fond of joking entered the shop for the purpose of meeting his wife at a cer- tain counter. Sure enough, there stood a lady dressed— to his eye at least—just like the woman he was aft4. Her back was turned, and no one was near her; eo he quietly approached, took her by the arm and said, in a voice of simulated severity by way of a joke, "Well, here your spending my money as usual, eh?" The face turned quickly towards him was not his,wife's; it was that -of an acrid, angry, keen -eyed woman of about fifty years, who attraoted the attention of- everybody in that pare of his whittling and meeting his questioner's stern gaze with a whimsical smile, " I may not know ,just where snags are, „ but you depend 'upon me for knowin' where they ain't, and that's where I calculate to do my • Uses for Salt. Salt puts out fire in the ehimey. Salt in the oven under baking tins will prevent their scorehing on the bottom. Sett and vinegar Will remove stains from a discolored teacup. Salt and soda are excellent for bee stings. Salt threwn en soot which has fallen on the carpet1wil1 prevene stain. Salt put on ink when freshly spilled on carpet will help in removing the spot. Salt in whitewash makes it stick. Salt thrown on acoal fire which is low willMvive it. Salt used in moths. sweeping carpets keeps out • Her Position. The girl who has two strings to her bow occupies a position both difficult and dan, gerous. In the first place, she must so dis- pense her favors that neither of them know which is the favored one. Secondly, he must keep them both "on" by keeping them both "off." And, thirdly, she must preserve, at the very least, an armed neu- trality between them. Altogether, One string is much safer. We all know the adage about failing to the. ground. betwei n two stools. I3esides there is something not "nice "—to say the least of it—about a girl who can skilfully and continuously manipu- late a couple of lovers. No woman is to blame for attracting two wooers at one and, the same time ; but she is to blame if one, or-brth, are not put out of suspense as gotta as possible. children objected lip. Landlords are getting very particular about their tenants as well as their rents. If a person has a dozen children he's very cdoly told that he cannot have the premises. "'Have you any children, madame ?" in- qUired one of these sharpers of a lady in inodesb black, who was looking at one of his houses just finished and in perfect order. Yes,' said the gentle mother, "1 haVe- seven, sir, but they are all in the church- yard." A sigh and the dew of a tear gave impressiveness t� the painful remark, and without, further parley the bargain was closed. Her little flock were waiting for her in thchurchyard round the corner, and were delighted to hear that she had found a snug house so speedily. The landlord says he :hall never trust a woman in black after that. Why He Talked to Himself. There is„an Irish porter employed in a large commission house in New York, one of the kind that will make a witty reply ,to any sort of question. He is very foncrof expressinghis views in general, and 'has great admiration of his arguments. If he fails to get a listener he will talk to himself in lieu of something better. A member of the firm, being annoyed one day at his con- stant muttering, which he was unfortunate enough to hear, sent for him. "See here, John, did it ever occur to you that your constant talk and muttering is a great an- noyance to people that happen to be around? Why on earth do you chatter away to your- self, anyhow ?" Shure, I have two rea- sons tor doin' that." "Two reasons ! Well, what are they ?" "One of them is that I loike ter talk to a sinsible man, and the other is that I loike ter hear a sinsible man talk." without first slipping on a loose glov the dry heat from the fire will mak nails more brittle than ever. A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a cppful of tepid tea, water whitens and supple's the nails and removes all greaee and dirinak- ing them more easy to polish. This s ould be used every morning, and by dabbling the fingers a few moments it is possible to Make the nails perfectly clean and transparent without the use a any metal cleaner, by simple rubbing under them with a t wel. It is also beneficial in removing the skin. around the nail edges, which should never be cut -with scissors. Rub the towel inly all about- file nail, pushing back the skin. Do this regularly every day, and after few weeks the skin growth will disappear. • Clever Reply. An excellent reply was that once ade,1 says a correspondent, by a Yankee pilot Co the owner of a Mississippi River steam- boat. The boat was at New Orleans, and. the Yankee applied for the vacant p st of pilot, saying that he thought he coul give satisfaction, provided the were "1 okin'. for a man about his size an build. Your size and build will. do well enough,r said the owner, surveying the lank fortn and rugged face of the applicant with some amusement, 'but do you know about the river, where the snags are, and so on ?" "Well, I'm pretty well acquaintedi with the river," drawled the, Yankee, with his eyes fixed on a stick he was whittling, " but when you come to talkin' about the snags I don't know exactly where they re, I must say." "Don't know where the snags are !" said the boat owner, in a tone f dis- gust, then how do you expect to go a po- sition as pilot on this river ?" "Well sir," said the Yankee, raising his keen eyefrom It k a milicult matter tt aetkroinetb9 ago of an elephant with any degree of aocui- racy, yet it_oan be easily eetiniated on the basis commonly used in arriving at the exl- peotancy of all other animal..

Poor men's wives worry becanse the bread won't rise, or the stove won't draw, or the clothes line breaks, or the milk burns, or the pane of glass is mended with putty, or they can't afford to hire help. Rich mea's wives worry becomes the preserve dish is not of the latest pat- tern, or because somebody finds out how a party dress is trimmed before the party happens, or because some- grandee's wife overlooks them, or because their servant sauces them, breaks up tea sets,spoila din- ners, gets drunk, cuts up sheets into under- clothes. Causes vary, but worry averages the same. The scale of miles is different on different maps, but places remain just so far apart, and so do hamo.nity and content. • —A beer man from Hamburg, named Schel, was lifting a keg of lager into his wagon on Monday evening of last week,' in front Of Mr. O'Leary's liquor store in Mit- chell; when one of his feet slipped' and he fell, with the keg acrogs his legs, the bone of one of which was broken a little above the ankle.

The Line of Separation Commenced With the Elective System. There was an old Harvard and there -is a new, and the line of separation is so recent' that a graduate of less than 20 years' stand- ing can remember when it began toappear. It came with the elective system and has developed year by year as that system has developed, and as students' names, have multiplied in the Harvard catalogue. Twenty years ago there were still classes and class feeling at Harvard. Most of the studies of freshman year and nearly half of the sophomore studies were prescribed. There were then about 200 students in a class. Nowadays a Harvard class has come to be a much larger and looser aggregation of Individuals, and the faoilities for knitting b6 together have almost disappeared. Be- fiereen 400 and 500 men now enter college together. Only a single study, English, is prescribed to all of them. Allther-est they select, each man choosing what best suits bis taste, inclinations and purposes. Most of the elective courses -.are open to students of several classes and to graduate students, and when a freshman has sorted out the studies he purposes to pursue, he finds himself in the lecture or recitation room with an unclassified body of learners, most of them no doubt freshmen like him- self, but very likely with plenty of sopho- mores, too, and possibly with other upper class men and graduate students. Com- pulsory prayers have passed out of exist- ence and ho rarely or neer sees his own class all together at one time. Indeed, there is not a lecture room in Harvard col- lege that will seat all the members of the present freshman class at once. He rarely eyer sees a group of men together in any classroom of whom he can be sure that all of there are his clessmates.—Edward. S. Martin in Scribner's. How Long .Does an Elephant Live?
