It is hoped, that at least one r.rising Temperance mass meeting will b.i held in connection with the scheme toward the close of the year, seeking to encourage the pledgers to renew their pledge, and each one to become an ac- tive worker in the oauee besides. Suggestions will be gladly received during the next two weeks, when, if things appear favorable a start will be made. it is hoped that, in oonnedtion, our earnest, Temperance corner will be i kept up in our NEw BRA. It is true our petitions for Prohibi- . ' tion are going before the House. Success to them. But before Prohibition can be an actual fact, how many of those who are now our schoolboys and Col- legiate lade shall have acquired that fatal taste which Prohibition itself may not oheok or may come too late to remedy? Let ne get the boys on our aide before they have learned to like it,. Let us get them in such numbers that they will not need to be singular. Let ne get them in such numbers that saloon keepers may lose their material. What we need is earnest, personal dealing with every boy and girl in the land, and every man and woman too. In order to do that we need a multi- tude of workers, and the work to be put in such a shape that every willing hearted person can take bold of it. Temperance organizations could make their influence felt over a wide area by taking it as their -special- business- to get every person within reach to join the ranks of the 1891 League. • Ministers and other Temperance workers to whom this paper may be sent are specially asked to give this plan a serious consideration., If im- provements can be suggested, please suggest them. If you think the plan decidedly calculated to do good, a kind- ly written card wishing it "God speed" will be an encouragement. If you think it probably a waste of energy, do not be slack to say so, for if it is not for good it, should be checked. Any communication on the subject may be sent to ANNA Ross, Brucefield. WHAT IT COST Must be carefully considered by the great majority of people, in baying even necessities of life. Hood's Sareaparilla commends it- self with special force to the great middle classes, because it' com- bines positive economy with great medicinal power. It is the only medicine of which can truly be said '100 doses one dollar.' and a bottle taken according 'to direc- tions will average to last a month TOOK AWAir HIS It is hard to be wakened end- denly from a dream of bliss. The Chicago Tribune relates a sad experience of this sort by a young gentleman of that city in connec- tion with his first baby. He was very proud and happy, as he had a right to be, of course. 'It's a bouncer t' he exclaimed. 'Where are the scales ?' The domestic hunted up an old- fashioned steel -yard that hadlcome down from a former generation. It was the only weighing machine in the house. The baby,wrapped in fleecy folds of some light fabric was suspended from the proper hook, and the proud young father assumed charge of the exercises. 'I'll try it at eight pounds,' he said, sliding the weight along the beam to that figure. 'It won't do. She weighs ever so much more than that 1' He slid the weight -along sever- al notches farther. 'My stars 1' he said. 'She more than probable obable that before weighs more than ten pounds. long all the leading jockey clubs BREATH.

The school population of the Province for 1886 was 616,028, of which number 500,810 pupils were registered, 268,047 were bora and 237,768isle The nu hero pupile registered had incr - r 4,492, though the increase o . 1 population was only 07average attendance in rural eec:ione was 47 per gent. of the registered attendance, while in towns it was 6.0 per cent. and in cities .64. per cent. There are now 5,677 school houses in the Province. Notwithstanding the large expeni • ture for school Bites and buildings and the large Mt:realm in the teaching gaff of the couatry, the Cost per pu- pil bas but slightly advanced in thirteen years. The average cost per pupil on the number enrolled in 1889 was $8.44 for the Province. In 1877 the average cost was $6.26 for the Province. The number of Roman Catholic schools open during the year was 243, pupils 82,790 and teachers 546, The number of high schools, in- cluding collegiate institutes, was 120, with 18,642 pupils and .427 teachers. The attendance at the high schools has doubled in thirteen years. In 1889 the pupils preparing for matriculation number 1,446.583 for the learned professions and 7,816 for teachers' examinations. Total number of pupils attending the aeve- al classes of schools in 1889 (exclud. ing colleges and prlliate schools), 520,827; grand total sum expended for all educational purposes in 1889, $5,145,370.

THE HORSE&IAN All the leading authorities unite in recominening .clean oats for horses. In former years horses were fed oats j`ti ate as they came from the thresher, and as a conse- quenco-with every 100 bushels of oats the horses got from four to five bushels of dirt, weed seed, etc. - It is a mistaken idea„to suppose that beauty of form and elegance of style and finish are incompat- ible with ,the trotter. Some of the very fastest performers are horses that even the farmer would call handsome, extremely so, showing conclusively that there is no inconsistency in a horse be- ing possessed of beauty of form, fine size add style, and also of extreme trotting speed. that .a Sire must possess inthese gays,^anl if be #las theca he can epnilland a royal patronage at a very big aorvieo fee. The first of thee° qualiflaations is an ioheri. twice of tested trotting blood ; the eeoond is good individuality and soundness; the third is a race -re- cord that will demonstrate that his inheritance 1s in accordance with the law of progression, and the fourth is progeny that have demonstrated -his ability to hand his inherited qualities down to the next generation. It is a singular fact that of the many who go into the horse busi- ness few ever leave it. Call to mind those who within your know- ledge have engaged in the 1 mai- Pees of handling or raising horses and see how few have been able to tear themselves away from its charms. Certainly not all have prospered, but they have clung to their idols nevertheless, perhaps hoping for better days, or if with race horses awaiting a lucky stroke that will bring them out all right. There is a sort of fascina- tion about this noble animal which seems to take strong hold of those who devote their attention to it— and not always to their benefit either. This has marked the his- tory of the human race from the earliest times, and the devotion was never stronger than at the present day. And it most be ad- mitted that none of the brute creation are more worthy the ad- miration of man than is the horse, Probably there are more cases of cold in the head and catarrh during March than any other month in the year.

It is said by some that camera's work i' calculated to prejudice the honest verdict of a judge, while others declare that only in photography is to be found a solution of the vexing problem: Who has won and who has lost? The manage- ment of Coney Island Jockey Club experimented with photography last season anal every finish was reproduced and remains an opti- cal record.

Mr George Anderson of Greens- burg, ind., furnishes an example of what one brood -marc will ac- complish when given an oppor- tunity. Some years ago Mr. Alderson became an owner of a mare by Iron's Cadmus, and for a number of years bred her to Pilot Duroc, one of the best horses in Indiana at the time. As a result he sold four geldings out of this mare for .$1,750-- all of them untrained, and still has two eleg• ant brood -mares out of her, and Pilot Duroc, that are worth quite a snug little fortune, and they in turn are producing ivaluable colts each year.

Then I reasoned thus; it now, when my salary is small and cigars are high I smoke up to my full endurance, what would become ot health if I got all my cigars for nothing?

The political battle is over, but the battle with disease must be constantly and unceasably waged else the grim reaper will come out victorious, and loved ones will gather to their long home. On all sides may be seen pale and listless girls who should be enjoy- ing the health and glow of rosy youth. Everywhere are met with women young in years, yet prematurely old, who suffer in silence almost untold agonies, tie result of those ailments peculiar to the female system. To all such, Dr Williams' Pink Pills comes as a blessing. They restore wasted vital- ity, build up the nervous system, en- rich the blood, and transform pale and sallow complexions into glowing, rosy cheeks that alone follow perfect health. Ina_ word they are a certain cure for all these distressing complaints to which women and girls are peculiarly liable. A trial of these pills will con- vince the most sceptical of their wonder- ful merit. For suffering men Dr Williams' Pink Pills are equally effica- cious. For over -work, mental strain, loss of sleep, nervous debility and all those diseases that load to broken-down manhood, they are a certain specific, stimulating the brain, reinforcing the exhausted system and restoring shat- tered vitality. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are nature's restorative and should be used by every weak and de- bilitated person.

It recommends itself, for -people no soon- er see it than they are able at once to appreciate it. I sold 8 this season within 30days Robt Beatty, of Orangeville, writing to the Company says:—"In summing up my waggon sales for the last six years, 1 find I have sold over 400 Chatham- Waggons, and in all that number I have not heard of one break or one loose tire. I, therefore, must-oongratulate you on building the best waggon in Canada." It is -said --by some waggon makers that they have spent a long life inAhe business, and that, therefore theirs is the b"tter waggon. If this be so, how is it that this company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the whole of them put together? Simply because the public appreciate the fact that undoubtedly they snake the best waggon in the Dominion to -day ; and hereby invite anyone or all those waggon makers who make this claim for their waggons to a test of waggons fat ease of running and carrying capacity against the Chatham Waggon for 8100.
