A'DNGEROUS CRIMINAL.4-Louis Tolliver, whefotmerly resided in thie township,and who has become notorious as a burglar, was e uti before the 'police magistrate in Toronto last week. Six offences were proved against him, and he had no defence to offer. In 1889 he was sent to the reformatory for an ' indefinite period from London. In 1894 he -served two months in the Brockville jail. " You are a pretty dangerous criminal," said the magistrate. " Ineteai of being sorry for what yon 'ewe (lane your griev- ance seems to be against the officers who have done only theifeluty. I will treat this -ease serioes.ly. I will send yon to the peni- tentiary for.seven years, hard labor." The man turned away with a en-dle, aud went down stairs mutteriug maleditaious no the heads of the detectives. An irk a of the de- termination and dangereas eheracter of this man may be formed from the fa.et that he and a. few other ,priseners nearly succeeded in escaping from the jail. Governor Green learned of the affair, just in time to prevent it. Detective 'McGrath searched the prisoner and found in his clothes a danger- ous -looking iron spike, with a hook at one end, whieh would have inflieel an ugly wound. Nearly all the d many of the g.

One of the most persistent and de- atruotive assiatants the plumber has is the house rat. A rat can Sat out plumb. inS as fast as an average hottest man ash pay for it. To a rat a greasy lead pipe is 4 toothsome =omen. When a litany rat forsakes the barn and tads his Way into the cellar of a house and thews, up through the wells to the space between the floors, the first thing he tackles is the ourease on the outside of a fead waste pipe. If he finds other food shortly thereafter, he spores the pipe, otherwise he sate the pipe and the water escapes ,through to the Ceiling below and ruins the plaster. The plumb - or is sent for and repairs the leak, but be doesh't tell what caused it, - Ono* upon a time a rat was "hoist by his own petard," -so to speak. We got Me a house •and found him Way to a lead pipe, on which he tried his teeth. It Was pleasant chewing and put a fine -edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon he had eaten a large hole in the pipe and a stream of scalding water poured forth.

NEW SPRING Wall Papers Wit PICKARD & CO• IDIRECT MPOLTERS, , Opposite Tram Building, Corner Main and [Market Streets. - OPENED UT at the Golden Lion Store. There is nothing that adds so muph to the appearance of a room as the Wall Papers used in decorating, and with the approach of spring the question of New Wall Papers must receive important consideration by everY householder and landlord.

Buying by the carload, direct from the Can- adian and American manufacturers, we get the best they produce. The way we buy has everything to do with the way we sell.
