The Huron News-Record, 1891-09-16, Page 2e Coughin IS Nature's effort to expel foreign sub- stances from the bronchial passages. Frequently, this causes inflammation and the need of an anodyne. No other expeetoraut or anodyne is equal to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays irritation, induces repose, and is the most popular of all cough cures. "Of the many preparations before the public for the cure of colds, coughs, bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there is none, within the range of my experi- ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pec- toral. Fur years I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad- vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and to lay all other remedies aside. I did so, and within a week was well of my cold and cough. Since then I have always kept this preparation in the house, and feel comparatively secure." Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss. "A few years ago I took a severe cold which affected my lungs. I had a ter. rible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the con- tinual use of the Pectoral, a permanent cure was effected. "-HoraceFairbrother, Rockingham, Vt. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Pn$PABSD ST Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.

A CANADIAN LIBERAL IN CHICAGO. Chicago Inter Ocean :—Canadian guests at Chicago hotels have been loath to discus politics since the Quebec scandals were made public. Although a prominent member of the Liberal party, Henry McGov. ern, who is at the Leland, yesterday proved au exception to this rule. "We Liberals in Toronto and On. tario generally," he said, "see clear- ly that the leaders, from a Domiu ion standpoint, must hereafter be dependent upon us for theirstrength. The rottenness of the papal province wakes this inevitable. Liberalism there is all but dead. Now even in Ontario and Nova Scotia we feel the. effects. But in those provinces we shall not be forced to apologize for the corruption of the Quebec Liber - ala. Ontario now knowing the rot- tenness of Quebec, will no longer be robbed by her. Another dis- graceful alliance between the Pap- acy of Quebec and the Liberalism of Ontario will not be tolerated, and I doubt if for a moment there will be an attempt to force it upon the peo pie. Honest Liberals, with us, no matter bow partisan, have had more than enough of the Mercier alliance, and the strongest men in the party would secede were it renewed. Mr. Abbott is undoubtedly houeet in his efforts to stop cause for any future scandals by bringing about reforms in the civil service." AN INDIAN BABE BORNE IN- TO THE AIR AND DROPl'- EI) TO ITS DEATH Sault St. Marie, Ont., Sept. 7.— John Cowadje, a Chippewa Indian living. on the shore of Echo lake, started out this morning to guide a party. His only child, a girl baby, was ou the outside of the hut, near the door, his wife being on the op- posite side of the dwelling. When the Indian father and the party had proceeded half a mile or so they saw an enormous bald eagle circ- liug over the edge of Echo lake, near the hut. There was no thought of danger to the child, but their sports man's instinct prompted them to turn back to get a shot at the bird. As they turned to retrace their steps, the eagle made a sudden swoop to the earth. Tho Indian quickened his pace and reached his cabin in advance of the white men. Whorl they arrived Ve -the lake tlrey- saw a dead eagle of unusual size and formidable appearance lying on the ground, near it the Indian babe, tomo and bleeding, and also dying. The scream and rush of the great bird upon the child, brought the Indian mother upon the scene. her babe was already several feet in the air held by the ugly talons of the eagle. The child was evi (lently too heavy for the bird and was dropped to the earth. The fall caused its death. The eagle made another plunge for its victim, but was fought off by the mother, who succeeded in driving it away, As the bird rose iu the air it was shot by the father, who had arrived too late to save the child. The white men had no difficulty in securing the eagle and they will have it stuffed. HOW PEOPLE SLEEP. Though it is true, as the author of the school composition once as- serted, that ''Sleeping is a nuivernal practice among all nations," it is also true that there is a great diver- sity in th" methods of sleeping among people of different nations and different ways of life. The things which one person needs to make hirer sleep are precisely the things which would keep another awake all night. Even sedative medicines which put one person int mediately into a heavy slumber ex• cite another into a condition of' nerv- ous restlessness. Tho European or American, in order to sleep well, ordinarily fel quires a downy pillow under his head ; but the 'Japanese, stretching himself upon a rush -mat on the floor, puts a hard, square block of wood under his head, and dons not sleep well if he dots not have it, The r'h i nese, makes great account of his be:d, which is very low in- deed,—scarcely rising from the floor, —but is often carved exquisitely of wood ; but it never occurs to him to slake it any softer than rush mats will render it, While the people of Northern countries cannot sleep unless they have plenty of room to stretch out their legs, the inhabitants of the tropics often curl themselves up It monkeys at the, lower angle of a sus- pended hammock, and sleep sound- ly in that positiod •,<'1'lid'.- �YtSbtYn'..-itt i of r'i-- i5ftiirr'^ covers himself with a pair of blank- ets and throws his window wide open to the air, even in the winter time, and lie does not complain if he finds a little drift of snow across the top of his bed in the morning. The Russian ou the ooutrary, likes no sleeping place so well as the top of the big soapstone stove in his domicile. Crawling out of this blistering bed in the morning, he likes to take a plunge in a cold stream even if he has to break through the ice to get into it. The Laplander crawls, lead and all, into a bag made of reindeer skin, and sleeps, warm and com- fortable, within it. The East In- dian, at the other end of the world, also has a eleepigg bag, but it is more porous than the Laplander's. Its purpose is to keep out mosquit- oes more than to keep the sleeper warm. While the American still clings to his feather pillow, he is steadily discarding his old-fashioned feather bed in favor of the hair or straw mattress. The feather -bed is rele- gated to the country, and many peo- ple who slept upon it all through their childhood find themselves un- comfortable upon it in their matur- ity. The Germans not only sleep up- on a feather bed, but underneath one. The feather covering used in Germany, however, is not as large or thick as the ono which is used as a mattress, and the foreigner who undertakes to sleep beneath it often finds his feet suffering from cold, while his shoulders are suffering from heat. MURDER IN A PASSION. WINNIPEG, Sept. 7.—Genius Webb, who shot his brother near Balder Station on the Northern Pa- cific & Manitoba branch, on Friday, was brought to the city yesterday and lodged in the Provincial jail. Genius loaded his gun in the morn ing and went out to shoot prairie chickens. He met his brother and they began gnarreliug oyer the di- vision of the wheat on their farm. Harrison dared Genius to touch the grain. There was an interchange of passionate words, and suddenly Genius put his gust to hie shoulder and levelled it at his brother, who was two rods away. The heavy charge of shot struck Harrison on the neck and the left breast, inflict- ing frightful wounds. Genius, when he saw his brother bleeding on the ground, carried water to the wounded man who had been the victim of his rage, .and laved the neck and shoulders with the hope of undoing what lie had done. When lie saw the neighbors coming lie left. He made uo at• tempt to escape from the district, and submitted quietly to arrest when found shortly afterwards. There are four Weld, brothers living near Balder, three of whom live together, Genius living by him- self, unmarried. Their father lives in London, Oret., where lin is a well- known builder. He assists his sons in Manitoba equently. Webb states that he blames his brother for shat occurred as thoy goaded him into doing the shooting. He says also that they threatened on more than one occasion to do the sante to him. lie says that his two brothers irad nearly beaten the life out of him and he was getting even with them. He disclaims any intention of murdering his brother, but only wanted to give his brother a good scare and perhaps make him smart dearly for what he hail dose in the past. Latest accounts front Balder say the wounded man is still alive, but chances of recovery are very slim. THE AMOURS OF A PRINCE. A double suicide, or a murder and suicide, olcurre•l at Me-yotling, Austria, on .Jan. 30, 1889, that shocked the world and raised a great sensation. At that time the young Baroness Marie de Vetzera was found dead along with her lover, the (grown Prince Rudolph of Austria. So many rumors were circulated at the time concerning the girl that her mother, Baroness de Vetzera, le solved that the whole truth should be known, and to this end edited a story, which was put into the form of a volume, to vindicate her laugh ter, and fifty copies wore printed. The emperor learned of the intend- ed peblication, and orders were issued which caused the seizure of the volumes. The manuscript was saved, and from it the story ie told. It gives a consecutive narrative of the affair in so detailed a way that its accuracy ctip'arenily cannot be called in.() question, An im portant feature, according to the toother's stow, is the infamous part played in the tragedy by no less a personage than the niece of the Empress of Austria. This dis- tinguished lady's actions are given with the fullest of detail, and the pamphlet accuses her of being not only the intermediary lint a hl•ick• mailer as well. Baroness Marie's last letters to her family aro like- wise made public, end the story is told how a fortbtne teller was made to play a mysterious part in the ....,- Briefly summarized, end as told in the young girl's letters, the story him in the ordinary social way. Finally she intrusted her secret to Countese Larisch, the Empress of Austria's niece, and this lady at once undertook to act as a go be tween, while taking advantage of her knowledge of the state of affairs to levy blackmail from the prince. At one time the mother of the girl suspected [but something was amiss, but Countess Larisch wee ready with some plausible tale. The facts of all this are given in great detail in the mother's pamphlet. At last the girl fled to Muyerling, by prearrangement with the prince, ani. a few hours later her death was known by the emperor, but not by the mother, who in vain implored the chief of pollee and Count Tabfe, the Austrian premier, to cause a search to be instituted for her daughter. The truth of the double suicide, or murder and suicide, ie at last definitely established by this publication. The news of the death was broken to the mother by the Empress of Austria herself. The pamphlet shows that the prince's mind had long been given to thoughts of suicide, but that Mine did her best to dissuade him from this fatal step. It was not until hope for both of them had fled that she resolved to share his death. For the first time is revealed the indignities offered to her dead body. Elow she was carried away in a sit ting posture between her two uncles, even a coffin being denied her when moving her; how her mother was persecuted and vilified, how everything was done to lay the blame on the girl, forms a harrow- ing story as told by the mother. The alleged falsehoods circulated about her are exposed and the daughter's dying messages given. CANNING AND PRESERVING. From Harper's Bazar.` For canning or preserving choose always the very best fruit. It should be thoroughly ripe, but firm and sound. In peeling be very careful to cut out all bruised spots. Reject whatever has the least trace of decay ; it is ripe for fermentation, and may ruin the whole batch. To keep apples, pears, and peaches firm and well -covered, wash and drain well before paring, drop each one as the rind conies off into clear lime -water, and let stay till all are finished. Take out upon a sieve, and rinse by pouring clear water through. If for canning, pack close in your jars, and set in cold water up to the neck. Bring it to a boil, while you make a syrup of half pound . f sugar and half pint of water to each pound. Cook five - m-rn- - es-- A_ .elm. Shim well, and fill the cans brimtul of it. Let them stand two minutes, then fill again, if it has sunk below the top. Press the fruit well be- low it with the back of a spoon, and seal at once, if the cans are of glass, be careful to set them on s,inretiiing warm when they are re- moved from the water, A sudden chill will burst them, and make all your labor vain. For delicate fruit, such as strawberries, make the syrup thicker—about three quarters of sugar to the half-pint of water. Choose large firm berries, handling titenr as lightly and as little as pose• ble ; boil your syrup ten minutes, or until it ropes a little; then drop in the berries, a handful at a time. As the kettle boils again, take them but with a skimmer, and pack down in a hot jar. Keep on scalding a few at a time till all are done; then buil the syrup till it ropes freely, pour over them till the fruit is corn pletely covered, drop a teaspoonful of brandy in the top of each jar, and seal while boiling hot. 'The secret of success is never to put in fruit except when your kettle is on the full boil, and not to add enough to check it but very slightly. Fruit so treated keeps shape, color and flavor—all which are by ordinary methods almost wholly lost, For preserves allow five pounds best sugar to each four of pared fruit. After rinsing, drain for a minu.te;. then pack iu layers with the sugar in a deep stone jar. Let eterd twenty fuer hours in a cool place. four off the syrup then into a scrupulously bright kettle, boil it for ton minutes, skimming very closely; ill n pour cv►r the fruit, andlet it stand another day. Drain off again, bring to a boil, and add the fruit after you have skim- med it well. Keep it boiling brisk• ly, neither very fast nor slow, ♦r , _.ever uvel•crowu your kettle, nor use one that is very large. The why no women hath discovered, but the fact remains that for boauti- fel clear pink or golden jellies and pr'eser'ves you must cook only a moderate quantity at once. If the heat is just right, iu two hours your fruit will be clear and sugary all through. Take it out with the skimmer, and lay on broad dishes. Boil the syrup till it is like--liouey, adding, if you like it, the strained juice of three lemons, along with their peel boiled in clear water un- til a straw will pierce it. If ginger -is.-.p,refetres,.,soaikr two raps over night in half a pini orWiif'oi, aird add the whale to your syrup before is that Baroness Marie Votz•+ra, boiling down. When it is thick than seventeen years old, fell in enough, pack your fruit delicately love at first sight with the crown in gins-) or stone jars, and cover an prince, and that she frequently mot i inch deep with the syrup. Lay a •--I: a brandied paper in the mouth of each and tie down securely, but do not seal. SAINTLY SALLIES. HE USED THE VERNACULAR. It is related of the recently de- ceased coachman of the Archbishop of Canterbury, that while serving Bishop Tait, the latter reproved him for swearing at "cabbies" during a block caused by a number of cabs. His reply was, "I heard you tell tbem ere gents as was ordained last Sunday, that if you don't speak to people iu their owu natural tongues, you will uever get 'cur to under stand you!" THE OUTLOOK IS DARK. At an influential Roman Catholic conference, held recently in Wigan, Father Powell proved by the figures, which he declared there was was no gainsaying, that "never since Eliza• beth ascended the throne had the prospects of the Catholic Church been darker in England. In most parts of the country the Church was not only losing number relative- ly, but absolutely. Liverpool was the diocese in the country which showed an increase of Catho• lice, and even theie not proportion- ately to the increase of population." Emigration to America, apostacy, andethe aversion of young men to matrimony were causes assigned. A GIDDY PASTOR. Rev. C. F. Wood, a Congrega- tional preacher in Tulare, Cal., is iu trouble over a cipher love letter he wrote to Mary Gregson, a fifteen - year old girl who who has worked for his wife as nurse. Wood sent her a letter with a key to the cipher, but el►ethought it was from a school- mate and got her mother's help in translating it. It began : "Would you like to be hugged and kissed 1 Ot course there's no halm in it— that is, if you don't give it away. I know some one who would just as soon hug you as not. If you are willing, time and place can be agreed upon. You may indicate your acceptance by dropping your handkerchief.' The girl couldn't imagine who sent the letter till a few days later, when the preacher handed her a note in the same hand- writing as the cipher missive. She told her mother, and a decoy letter was sent, which the amorous clergy- man answered. When the church called upon him to disprove the charge lie took a vacation. The church then deposed hint REPORTERS AT CHURCH. The herald anti Presbyter says :— Vie r' o en it t -tr-t ' rosierr of priests are reported. Occasional- ly they are. A week or so ago, at a corner stone laying on Mount Adams, Cincinnati, an ad4ess was made by a priest, Mackey by name, in which he told his hearers that intelligence and vice go together ; that there are six times the number of criminals in prison where the public, school system prevails as where the "parental and religious" system prevails. Ohio, in par- ticular, is in great danger because of her public school system, and he professed to Live facts and figures to prove his statements." The Cana- dian Presbyteriunt's comment on this is : "\Vhat a grand thing it would be for this Canada of .ours if we could have a verbatim report of the doings and sayings of the Hierarchy of Quebec when a line of action is marked out for the church in things political. Daylight would soon de- stroy the corporate vote." 1�tACES.

The use of mice for bait, wlilh is the latest ruse in Colorado for en- ticing the n ily trout, recalls a fish story in which the late Judge Lord, of St. Louis, was the principal. The Judge was an inveterate and in- thusiastic fish:erman. He used to ype-in rTS send cera in orttrern- Wisconsin, the Seusaukee being his favorite stream ; and it .may be mentioned incidentally that he did his share towards leaving it in its present destitute condition. On one occasion a monstrous trout made a dash for his fly, hut would not touch it. It was one of those in- telligent fish which seemed endowed with analytical powers of which ichthyological treatises do not ti eat. Every fisherman will recall an occas ion when his most artfully con- structed bait was analyzed, appar- ently, and spurned by one of those fellows.. The Judge could see hie troutship in the pool, and essayed by means of one bait after another to tempt him, but the trout sulked in his limpid retreat., stubborn and sullen. Finally a bright idea struck the Indian guide who always accom- panied the Judge, and with a sotto voce ",Me git 'em bait I" he stole quietly away. He was gone about half an hour, the Judge meantime contenting himself with lying in the tall grass and coveting the noble specimen upon which his eye feast- ed. The bait that the Indian brought was a field mouse, which the Judge carefully impaled upon his hook and cast into the stream. No sooner haul it, struck the water than it was pounced upon by the big trout. it took ,iudge Lord nearly an hour to land that fellow, but he had the greatest sport of his life in doing it. —About three years ago Mr. James Keefer, of Flesherton, was married in a'l'oronto church to his cousin, Miss Nettie Bennett, of Tara, who was for several months previons a resident of Owen Sound, and was well kuown in that town, especially in Division street church, of which she was a member. Immediately after the ceremony Miss Bennett refused to consider the con tract binding,protest- ing that the marriage with Mr. Keefer was entirely against her wishes and that she could not imagine what had made her consent to enter the church for that purpose. They part- ed at the church door. Mr. Keeler afterwards attempted to come to a better understanding with his bride, but site refused to consider him as he: husband and by her wish her friends have continued to call her Miss Bennett, Both the young peo- ple are estimable and intelligent, and the strange sita%tion has been a source or. much grie'rto their friends. Mr. Keefer applskcI for a divorce et the present sessNS of Parliament, 7rria IB `h`bT Wes, .nftersrowsh-trottbi and expense, succeeded in legally undoing the unfortunate compact. Both will likeyt profit by the ex• perience and hake haste slowly in making a second selection. 4' n.
