The TM:Mai/ fol• was set in motlOn- lil our school last Friday, the machine worked smoothly and without much friction. On Saturday night King bavitr lake, situat one mile north of P. H., pre- sented a brilliant Mid lively. appearance to. the fifty odd visitors that arrived early in the evening bent on pleasure; the lake was beautifully illuminated by having Chinese lanterns suspended on both sides and also on the dock where two row boats were kept constantly plying -between the dock and the east end of the lake. The boatmen, Messrs. 'Cox and Wigle, were releived from their. arduous duties by some of the young gentlemeri taking the ladies out for a row. Some of the visitors were from the city of London, some from the town of Goderich, while the balance were composed of the young ladies and gentlemen around P. H. In one of the row boats two young gentlemen furnished some excellent instrumental music while the vocal music from the other boat by the Misses Gordon and Coutts of Goderich was loudly encored. One young farmer that took his wife 'and family thought he would kill two birds with one stone by taking a grist to the mill; the general miller set the machinery in motion and in a shore time the grain was converted into flour. Mr. Cox has also a cider press in con-' nection with the Mill. The cider part of the business was only opened that evening and free drinks were the order of the evening. ilullett. The Council of Hullett met at Lond- eseboro on the 25th of August; all the members were present. A by-law was passed for the purpose of levy ing the rates for the year. The amount re- quired for County purposes -is $4,115.50 orab3ut one mill and nine tenths on the $ for Township and local improve- ment, debenture rate one mill and five tenths.

And yet Canada's rate is but 14.10 per 1,000 as compared with 15 in the Australasian colonies. The exports of coal from Canada have increased from two and a half million tons in 1890 to 3,114,000 tons in 1893. The reduction of the American duty from seventy-five to forty cents per ton Aught to lead to a still greater increase in the next three years. Although the extent of infantile mortality in Canada is appalling it is nothing to that which prevails in some other countries. In fact, the colony of Victoria, in Australia, is the only country in which ' vital satistics are prepared that present a better showing. Here the number of deaths under five years of age, in proportion. to each 1,000 living, was 46.73 in '91. In England, in the same year, the rate was 83.6 ; in France 75.6 ; in Spain 106.2; in Italy 119,0; and in Anatrity 111.7. A Toronto contemporary states that the pork packing industry bas taken a, firun hold in the regions north of that city. The farmers find the • industry profitable. They sell the pigs at form $4 to $4.75 live weight.. Instead of disposing of their wheat and barley at present low prices, they are feeding the grain to their pigs and converting it into pork. The farmers claim they get one dollar a bushel for all the wheat they feed to their hogs. The 1)41s111M le waking up all over the country. Mr, Laurier is still going about the country saying that "if" the public schools of Manitoba are Protestant schools, then it is an outrage. foe Roman Catholic parents to be compell- ed to send their children there. It is several months since the Liberrl leader began to make this guarded expression of opinion. It appears, by the fact that he uses the "if"" that he has not yet taken the trouble to discover whether the public schools of Manitoba are Protestant schools or not. But he will be in the prairie province soon, and no doubt somebody up there will enlighten him. In the meantime Touchstone's maxim holds good : "Your 'if' is the only peacemaker; much virtue in `if.'"

For children who are puny, pale or weak, the "Discovery" is a tonic which builds up both flesh and strength. What is said of it for child- ren applies equally to adults. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets at work all the rrocesses of digestion and nutrition, rouses every organ into natural action, and brings back health and strength. In recovering from "grippe," or in convalescence from pneutnonia, fevers and other wasting diseases, it speedily and surely invigo ates and builds up the whole system.

From,, the time we enter life, a great many vexatious and annoyances take after us. We may have our holidays, and. our seasons of recrea- tion and quiet, but whore is the man come to Mid-life who has found entire rest ? The fact is that God did not make this world to rest in. A ship might' as well go down off Cape Hatteras to find smooth water as a man in this world tie find quiet. From the way that God has etrewu the thorns and hung the clouds, and sharpened the tusks; from the colds that distress us, and the heats that smite; us, and the pleurisies that stab us, and the feversthat eontiarae us, I know that he did not make this .world as a place to loiter in. God does everything i;uccessfully, and this world would bo a very, different world if ••it were intended for us to lounge in. It does right well for a few hours. Indeed, it is magnifi- cent. Nothing but finite wisdom and goodness could have' mixed this beverage of water, or hung up these brackets of Stars, or trained these voices of rill, 'and bird and ocean—so that God has but to lift His hand; and the whole world breaks forth into orchestra. But, after all, it is only the splendors of a king's high- way, 'over which we are to march ori to eternal conquests.° You and I have seen ' men who tried to rest here. They builded themselves great stores. They gathered around them the patronage of merchant princes. 'rhe voice of their bid shook the money mar- kets. They had stock in the most suc- cessful railroads, and in "safety, de- posits" great rolls of government se - purities. ,They had emblazoned carriages high-mettled steeds, footmen, plate that confounded lords and senators who sat at their table, tapestry .on which floated the richest designs of foreign looms splen- dor of canvas on the wall, exquisiteness of music rising among pedestals of bronze and dropping:- as soft as light, on snow of scul;;ter,.

Rising on one el- bow, the man of fortune looks out into the darkness of the room, and wipes the dampness from his forehead, and says, "Alas!

"Wake up!" says a rough voice. "Political senti- ment is changing. How ii yon should lose this place of honor? Wake up 1' The morning r,apers are to be full of denunciation. Harken to the execrations of those who once caressed you. By to- morrow night there will be multitudes sneering at the words which last night you expected would be universally ad- mired. How can you sleep when ev"rv- thing depends upon the next turn of the great tragc so'l Up, mai)! Off of this pillow !" The man. with his head yet hot from his last oration, starts up sud- denly, looks out upon he nigtht. but Bees nothing except the flowers that lie on his stand, or the scroll from which he read his speech, or the hooks from which be quoted his authorities, and goes to his desk to finish his neglected correspondence, or to pen an indignant line to sol' i reporter, or sketch the plan for a public defence against the assaults of the people. Happy when he got his first lawyer's brief; exultant when he triumphed over his first political rival; yet, sitting on the very top of all that this world offers of praise, he exclaims, "No rest! no rest 1" The very world that now applauds will soon hies. The world said of the great Webster, "What a great statos- 'man I What a wonderful exposition of the constitution! A man fit for any po- sition." That same world sail after a while, "Down with him! He is an office - !sleeker! He is a sot! He is a libertine! Away with him!" And there is no peace for the man until he lays down his broken heart in the grtave at Marshfield.

I am going to make you a grand offer, Some of you remember that when gold was discovered in California, large com- panies were 'made up and started off to get ,rich. Today; I want to make up a party for the Land of Gold. I hold in fay hand a deed from the Proprietor of the estate, in which He offers to all who will join the company 10,000 shares of infinite value, in a city whose streets aro gold, whose harps are gold, whose crowns 'aro gold. You have read of the Crusad- ers—how that many thousands of them went off to conquer the Holy Sepulchre. I ask you to join a grasder eresede— aot for the purpose of couquering the sepulchre of a bead Christ, but for the purpose of reaching the throne of a living Josue. When an army is to be made up, the recruiting officer examines the volunteers ; he tests their eyesight ; he sounds their lungs ; he measures their stature, they must be just right, or they are rejected. But there shall be no par- tiality in making up the army of Christ. Whatever your mortal or physical sta- ture, whatever your dissipations, what- ever your crimes, , whatever your weak- ness:. I have a commission from the Lord Almighty to make up this regiment of redeemed souls, and I cry, "Arise ye, and depart ; for this is not your rest." Many of you have lately joined this company!, and my desire is that you may all join it. Why not ? You know in your own hearts experience that what I have said tsbout this world is true—that it is no place to rest in. There are hundreds here weary—oh, how weary—weary with sin ; weary with trouble ; weary with be- reavement. Some of you have been pierc- ed through and through. .You carry the scars of a thousand conflicts, in which yon have bled at every pore ; an:i you sigh, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove, that I might fly away and be at rest I" You have taken the cup of this world's pleasures and drunk it to the dregs, and still the thirst claws at your tongue, and the fever strikes to your brain. You have chased Pleasure through every valley, by every stream, amid every brightness and under every sha- dow ; but just at the moment when you were all ready to pat your hand upon the rosy, laaghiug sylph of the wood, she turned upon you with the glare of a fiend end the eye of a satyr, her locks adders, and her breath the chill damp of a grave. Out of Jesus Christ no rest. No voice to silence the storm. No light to kindle the darkness. No dry-dock to re- pair the split bulwark, Thank God, I can tell you something better. If there is no rest on earth, there is rest in heaven. Oh, ye who are Worn out with work, your hands calloused, your backs bent, your eyes half put out, your fingers worn with the needle that in this world you !nay never lay down ; you discouraged ones who have been wag- ing a hand-to-hand fight for bread ; ye to whom the night brings little rest and the inorntng more drudgery—oh, ye of weary hand, and of the weary side, and the. weary foot, hear me talk about rest ! Look at that company of enthroned ones. Look at their hanla`• ; look at their feet ; look at their eyes. It cannot be that bright ones ever toiled 1 Yes! yes! These packed the Chinese tea boxes, and through missionary instruction escaped into glory. These sweltered on Southern plantations, and one night, after tho cot- ton-picking, went up as white as if they had never been black. Those died of overtoil in the Lowell carpet factories, and these in Manchester mills : those helped build the Pyramids, and these broke away from work on the day Christ was hounded out of Jerusalem. No more garments to weave ; the robes are fin- ished. No more harvests to raise the garners are full. Oh, sons and daughters of toll ! arise ye and depart, for that is youy rest. Scovill M'Callum a boy of my Sunday school, while dying, said to his mother, "Don't cry, but ,sing, sing." There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary. Then, putting, his wasted hands over Lis heart. said "There is rest for me." But there are some of yon who want to hear about the ' land where they never have any heartbreaks, and where no graves are dug. Wh^re are your father and mother ? The most of you are orphans. I look around, and wh1re I see one man who has parents living, I see ten who are orphans. Where are your children? Where I see one family circle that is unbroken, I see three or four that have been desolated. One lamb gone out of this fold ; one flower plucked from that gar- land ; one golden link broken from that chain ; here a bright light put out. and there another, and yonder another. With such griefs how are you to rest 1 Will there ever be a power that can at- tune that silent voice or kindle the lus- tre' of that closed eye. or put epring and dance Into that little foot ? When we bank up the dust over the dead, is the sock never to be broken ? Is the cemetefy to bear no sound but the tire of the hearse Wheel, or the tap of the bell at the gate as the long processions come in with their awful burdens of grief ? Is the bottom of the grave gravel, and the top dust ? No I no 1 no 1 The tomb is top dust? No! no! nol The tomb is only a ?place where we wrap our robes about us fora pleasant nap on our way home. 'The swellings of Jordan will only wash off the dust of the way. From the top of the grave we catch a glimpee of the towers glinted with the sun that never 'rest. ! Oh, yo whose locke are wet with the dews of the night of grief ; ye whosd hearts are heavy because these well- known footsteps sound no more at the doorway, yonder is your rest 1 There is David triumphant ; but once he bemoan- ed Absalom. There is Abraham enthron- ed, but once he wept for Sarah. There is Paul exultant ; but he once eat with hie feet In the stocks. There is Payson radiant with immortal health ; but on earth he was always sick. No toil, no tears, no parting, no strife, no agonizing cough to -night. No storm to ruffle the crystal sea. No alarm to strike 'tom the .cathedral towers. No tremor in the everlasting song. But rest—perfect rest —unending rest. , Into that rest bow many of our loved ones' have goad)!

In sitting the child must be provided with a comfortable chair, adapted to his size and height, writes Elizabeth Robin- son Scovil in a very valuable article on "The Physical Culture of Children" in the Irdeptember Ladies' Home Journal. He should be made to sit well back in it,and not on the edge when he has to occupy it for any length of time. The back should, if possible, give support to the small of the back as well as to the lboulders.

The consciousness of beim; able to dance well gives ease and self-possess- ion to many a young man and woman who would otherwise be bashful and awkward. Little people usually delight in the rhy- thmical motion, and if it is not combined with late hours it does them nothing. but good*.. The Sin of Fretting: There is one sin, eaid Helen Hunt, which it seem eta me is everywhere, and by. everyone underestimated and quite too much overlooked in valuatio0 of charac- ter—it is the sin of fretting. It is as common as air, as speech—so common that unless it rises above ite usual mono- tone we do not even observe it. Watch any ordinary coming together of people, and see hpw many minutes it will be before somebody frets, that is, makes mora or less complaining statement of something or other, which most probably nobody can help. Why say anything about it? It is pold, it ie hot, it is wet, it ie dry, somebody has broke.,, an ap- pointment, ill -cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith bas resulted in discomfort. There are plenty of things to fret aho'lt. It is simply astonishing how much annoyance and discomfort may be found in the course of every day's liv- ing, even at the simplest; i4 one only keeps, fr, sharp eye on that side of things. Even Holy Writ says we are horn to trouble as sparks fly upward. But even to the sparks flying upward, in the blackest of smoke, there is a blue gray above, and the legs time they waste on the road the sooner they will reach it. Fretting is all time wasted on the road.—Worthingtou'e Illustrated Maga- sine. Bread by the Yard. French bread is divided into two classes —pain ordinaire and pain riche writes Maria Parloa in an article ou 'OrM..ide Domestic Aide in Paris" in the Septerda ber Ladies' Home Jqurnaf. The rich bread is made into all dolts of shapes, and usually of small size. All the French bread has a great deal of Crust and comparatively little crumb. What is called pain Anglaise is found at nearly all the bakeries. This bread is baked in square loaves, having a great deal of crumb in proportion to the crust. Small, round loaves of rye and of Graham bread can be purchased at nearly all the ba- keries, But the bread that is consumed in the greatest quantities is the pain or- dinaire. This is baked in long, round loaves, or in long, flat ones. The loaves vary in length from a yard to a yard spill a half. The bread, is sold by weight and costs about four cents a pound. Very little paper is used in the baker- ies. Men, women and children come in and purchase the. common bread, take it in the soiled hands or tuck it under the arm and walk off. The pain riche and small rolls are, however, partially protected by a small piece of paper. It ie a common thing to meet men in the street carrying a bundle of the large loaves of bread, the same as they would so much wood. When the baker delivers the bread it is brought to you in a bas- ket, or wrapped in paper. The bread that is served with the chocolate or coffee is generally in the form of a long roll or a crescent. The quality of the French bread is gen- erally good, but it varies at different establishments. Keep the Shoes Dry. Keeping the feet dry is of quite as much importance in Bummer as in winter, though many people do not seem to realize this, Iu the heavy dews of morning and evening the shoes get damp and suffer seriously, even though the health may not. It is worth while to keep a strict lookout as to the coverings of little feet. When they conte off at night it is well to have an old stocking full of dry oats or beans, Put these into the shoes, tie a string around the stocking just at the ankle, and set the shoes away for the night. The grain will not only draw out all the moisture from the leather, but will keep the shoes in shape without allowing them to shrink. Rubber boots for men and boys may be filled with beans or oats and dried out when all other moans have failed. There is nothing more uncomfortable than to pnt on damp and soggy shoe leather, and with forethought and pre- caution it is entirely unneceasary.— Ledger. 'i •eat hman's. Scruples.
