and like most of Huron's boys he has done
well. His many friends were agreeably
surprise to see him, as he sent no word he
was coming. He has been running the
engine in a large canning factory. He looks
as though the country agreed with him. He
used to be a correspondent for the HURON

CHURCH ENGA!GEMENT. -A specially call-
ed congregational meeting was held at the
close of the regular prayer meeting on Wed-
nesday evening last to receive the report of
the committee appointed at the annual con-
gregational meeting to obtain an architect's
estimate as tel the best methods of enlarg-
ing the seating °capacity of the church and
the cost of -same. The committees sugges-
tion or motion after careful study of the
matter and consultation with the architect;
was approved of by the meeting and adopt-
ed and which was as follows: That the pre-
sent gallery at the entrance or front of the
church bh extended forward, thus affording
a number of retire of seats across its entire
width and that the approach to the said
gallery,whieh has always been considered as
far too narrow as well as an unsafe one be
widened and remodelled and that
iron rods be passed through the walls
in order to strengthen the -church and pre-
vent the possibility of its spreading; and
while these changes could be made at a
small outlay and would effect much ad-
ditional room and much convenience of ap-
proach to the gallery and at a saving of over
thousands of dollars nee-essary to otherwire
enlarge the ehurch,they were argued against
by a very few but were heartily endorsed of
and approved by the meeting as a whole.

has gone to his reward-, at the age of 44.
He lived in Carrick on what we call the
boundary between Huron and Brittle. He
was sick but a very short time, and his
trouble appeared to be something simila,r to
that which has taken so many from around
here this winter, phneumonia. He was
buried in Melntosh cemetery on Thursday.

were well represented, and took charge of

"Shootin craps, your honor."
"Shootin craps," repeated the judge.
"Now look here! I have sent enough of
rou fellows down on this charge, but I
confess I know nothing about the game,
if such it might be called. I've listened

"It's played with dice, eh?"
"You take de bones," continued Na-

contempt on the surrounding crowd
anxious to learn the ins and outs of a
famous but badly misunderstood game.

In "More Tramps Abroad," Mark Twain
relates his first interview with General Grant
"The General," he say', "got slowly up
from his table, put his pen down, and atood
before me with an iron expression of a man
who had not smiled for seven years, and was
not intending to smile for another seven. He
looked inc 'steadily in the eyes; mine lost
-confidence`and fell. I bad never confronted
a great man before, and was in a desolate
state of funk and inefficiency. The senator
said :—'Mr. President, may I have the
privilege of introducing Mr. Clemens ?"
The President gave my hand an unsym-
pathetic wag and dropped it. He did not
say a word, but just stood. In my trouble
I could not think of anything to say; I
merely wanted to resign. There was an
awkward pause, a dreary pause, a -horrible
pause: Then I thought of something and
looked up into that unyielding face and said
imidly President,I—I am embarras-
sed. Are yo e r His face broke, just ,a
little- a wee glimmer -the momentary
flick.er of a, summer -lightning smile seven
years ahead of time; and I was out and
gone as soon as it was." Ten years after-
wards, when Chicago* was giving the Gen-
eral a tremendous reception on returning
from a tour round the world, Twain again
met him. "I worked my way (he says) by
the suite of packed drawing -rooms, and at
the comer of the house I foend a window
open where there was a roomy platform dec-
orated with flaws and carpeted: I stepped
out on it and saw below me millions of peo-
ple, blocking all the streets, and other mil-
lions caked together in all the windows and
on all the house -tops around. These masses
took me for General Grant, and broke into
volcanic explosions of cheers. But it was a
good place to see the procession, and I stay-
ed."

A CLEVER FIRE HORSE.
The Clear Headed Animal That Chief
Webber of Boston Used to Drive.
The rule in the Boston department is
to reach the fire as soon as it can be
done With safety. When an alarm comes
in, the firemen have that rule in mind.
They are not thinking about posing for
the public, but what they are - likely to
find at the end of their ride, and when ;
accidents occur in nine cases out of ten 1
they are raore likely to be due to the '
carelessness or fright of the public than i
to the recklessness of the firemen them -1
selves. There are approximately 2,000;
alarms a year in this city, to each of ;
which from one to eight pieces respond.
Compote the activity and momentum
thus let loose, but skillfully controlled,
with the total resulting casualties of a
year, and the showing will justify the
department as a whole every time.
The horses themselves share not only
the spirit but the knowledge of the sit-
uation, and to their training and. intel-
ligence is due to no small degree the
comparative exemption from serious
accidents whioh the department enjoys.
.A few years ago Chief Webber drove as
his fire horse an animal which well ex-,
emplified thaw characteristics. He hadl
a head like a wedge, ,atd he could rui!
for a deer. His fire g 'I was a run. He
was famous for econo 'zing Ms opporT
tunities. Even in g thickly crowded
street; if he saw a hundred feet clear in
front of him, be made it on the run. If
an obstruction suddenly appeared, he
would brace himself and skate over the
pavement until his momentum was
overcome. .Then with the next opening
the feat was repeated, while he writhed
in and out like a snake among inter-
cepting teams and usually was among
the first arrivals at the scene of the fire.
On one occasion be took himself and
the buggy to a fire some distance from
quarters without a driver and arrived
safely and at the right box. The un-
initiated who saw his movements might
have called them reckless, but during
his five or six years of service he at-
' tended more fires than any other horse
In the department,. and no serious acci-
dent to himself or others resulted.—

Some Sound Advice from One Who Has
Made the Trip, and Knows Something
of the Hardships the Gold Seekers
Must Undergo,
In the rush towards the goLien fields of
the Klondike, there are thousands who are
ill -fitted to stand the strain of hardship and
exposure, which are inseparable from that
trip. Illness, disease and death is almost
certain to claim many of the ill-prepared
adventurers, The following letter from one
who has undergone the hardships of the
trip, will prove intereeting to those who in.
into the desolate but gold leaden
north :--
SKAGWAY, Dec. 12th, ,1897
DEAR Sins, --My object in writing this
letter is to give a word of advice to those
who contemplate going to the Youkon gold
fields. For ten years I have followed the
occupation of prospecting, timber estimating
and mining, and the hardships and priva-
tions which one has to undergo are enough
to wreck the strongest constitution. In the
spring of 1897 I was stricken with pleurisy,
as the result of exposure. I recovered from
this, but it left behind the seeds of disease
which manifested themselves in the form of
heart and kidney troubles. I managed to
reach Vancouver, but did not have much
hopes of recovering. I was advisad, how-
ever, to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a
trial and at first purchased but two boxes.
Before these were gone I found beyond a
doubt that they were helping me, and their
continued use " put me on my feet again,"
to use a common expression. I then en-
gaged to go to the Yukon country, and only
those who, have made the trip to Dawson

Queer feelings in the heart arts dsily'Uomplained of
by multitudes of people -dont know the cause, but
it mikes them nervous, "tenable 'ahd unfit for either
work or pleasure. Mr. B. A. Ross, of Alba Craig,
Ont., explains it. ,He says: It came from la
grippe. I was irritable, worried, dizzy, short of
breath, and bad such a queer feeling in my heart
that I thought I would give up the ghost. Milbuen's
Heart and Nerve Pills changed ail this, and I am free

An English tourist visited Arran, and
being a keen disciple of link Walton,

Being told that the cleg, or horsefly,
would suit his purpose admirably for a
lure, he addressed himself to Christy,
the highland servant girl, "I say, my
girl, can you get me some horseflies?'
Christy lociked stupid, and he repeat-
ed his question. Finding that she did
not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed:
"Why, girl, did you never see a
horsefly?"
"Naa, sir," said the girl, "but a
wanse saw a coo jump ower a preshi-
