One of the most unpleasant and danger- ous maladies that afflicts Canadiang at this season is cold in the head. Unpleasant, because of the dull, heavy heaeaohe, in- flammed nostrils and other disagreeable symptoms accompanying it; and danger- ous, because if neglected it develops into catarrh, with its disagreeable hawking and spitting. fool breath frequent lose of taste and smell, and in many oases ultimately developing into. consumption. Nasal Balm is the only; emedy yet discovered that will instantly relieve cold in the head and cures in a few applications, while its faithful use will effectually eradicate the worst case of catarrh. Capt. D. H. Lyon, president of the C.P.R. Car Ferry, Prescott, Ont., Bays —"I need Nasal Balm for a prolonged case of cold in the head. Two applications ef. footed a cure in less than 24 hours. I would not take $100 for my bottle of Nasal Balm, if I could not replace it." Sold by all dealers, or sent by mail postpaid at 50 cents per bottle, by addressing G. T. Fnl- fordct Co., Montreal.

There is an impression in some quarters that the British provinces in this coun- try, and Canada in particular, have very little to their oredit in the way of the production of men and women who have made a large `nark in the world. If this has been true at any time it certain- ly is not true of the present. Among the rising poets of the day Canada certainly has a full share. Among them aro Bliss Carman, Archibald Lampmann, Charles G. D. Roberts, Duncan Campbell Scott, J. H. Brown and W. W. Campbell, whose names are familiar to the readers of our magazines. Mr. Lampmann has been ranked by Mr. Howells among thelstrong- est of American singers. And as for men of scientific thought and achievements, there is no man living who ranks higher than the subject of this sketch. Sir Wil- liam is a Nova Scotian by birth, having boon born at Pietou, in 1820, but he has spent nearly all his active lif,; in Canada, and is thoroughly identified with the educational and scientific interests of that country. Dr. Dawsop� received his collegiate training'at ndinburgh 'University, but re- turned immediately upon his graduation to the provinces, and entered at once upon his life work, which has been al- most wholly that of geological research and teaching. His contributions to geo- logical literature have been voluminous, rich and varied. In 1855 ho became prin- cipal of MoGill University at Montreal, and later was made vice-chancellor. In° these capacities he bas been connected with the leading educational institutions of Canada for nearly forty years. It is only within the past year that ho has re- tired from active servioe. Dr. Dawson's services to the cause of science have had the most abundant and eminent 'r©cognrnon. He has been made a member of a large number of learned societies,in Europe and America. In 1882 he received the Lyell medal of the Geolo- gical Society of London for distinguished service in geographical study and re- search. and for the same reason was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1884. He was selected by the Marquis of Lorne as the first president of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 1880 was president of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, and afterward held a similar position in tho British society of the same name. These aro only a few of the honors bestowed upon this fortu- nate and gifted Nova Scotian. To enumerate Sir William's writings would bo to enumerate many of the bust known and highest authorities on modern geology, such as "The Story o Earth and Man" and "Tho Dawn of Life." Dr. Dawson has commended him- self specially to largo numbers of people by his stout antagonism to Darwin's the- ory of evolution, and to the teachings of other scientists of tho Darwin and Hux- ley school. He is regarded as one of the foremost champions of the Biblical view of creation as against that of Darwinians, and a number of his best books have been written in defense of his position. Al- though over seventy years of age, Sir Wil- liam retains his intellectual vigor un- diminished and continuos to bo a fre- quent and always interesting contri- butor to the popular scientific literature of the day.—Philadelphia Press. THE CIRCUS GROUNDS. Clever Work Done by the Man Who Lays Them Out. "Ont of the way, you boys," says Hunt, tape measure in band, as he starts for- ward to mark the long diameter of the "big top." Two men trot beside him, their arms filled with iron rods two feet long and pointed at one end. Two others help him with the measurements, holding one end of the tape while he runs out the necessary distances. He locates first the five center poles of the big tent, an iron bar being driven at each point. Then in the same way he marks the circumference of the tent, indicating the points where the 208 poles will stand. A little red or blue flag flutters at the top of each iron rod, making the plan of the tent stand out on the sod like a geometrical pattern The "big top," 440 by 280' ,being thus laid out, Hunt and his men hurry to the side of the menagerie tent, which is con- nected with the main tent by n neck of canvas. This they mark out in the same way, the iron rods being topped with white flags. All is done with incredible rapidity, the plan of the two great tents being finished within eight minutes from the start. In other parts of the field aro as quickly laid out the dressing -room tent, two horse tents, the wardrobe tents, the side-show tont, the freaks' tent, the freaks' dressing -room and half a dozen smaller tents for the blacksmith shop, the repair shop, etc. Thus, by four o'clock, Jack Hunt, who never went to college, has disposed of enough angles, circles, diameters and radii to drive a professor of mathematics frantic; and he has made no mistakes, there being no provision in the programme of a great circus for mistakes. —M 1.s C11�i,RAPI for Pilcher, Cantona•, GET THE BEST.

Not since the death of Burne has liter- ary Scotland come so to the front. Before Stevenson's time (and he dealt but spar- ingly with his native land) the ouriobs manners and oustoms of the Scots bad no adequate exp&sition in literature. But with the renewed interest roused by the creditable work' of -the three Scotch - mon the "canny" Soot is seen as a modal for muoh that is good in writing. At present there are three men whb seem to have divided Scotland between them, or rather, have it in common, no division being necessary. To name them is merely to enumerate the three men who seam to have a mono- poly of the household reading of the day —Barrie, Crooket and MCClaren, but the greatest of these is Barrie. On May 9, 1860, he was born in Kirrlemuir, the Thrums which his description has made almost as well known as the London of Dickens and Thaokeray, the Paris of Hugo or any other locality in the literary geography. He began his studies in the Academy of Dumfries, and early mani- fested his inclination toward writing, cor- responding with the local papers under the signature of "Paterfamilias," urging earnestly that boys should have more holidays. At eighteen. he entered Edinburgh University, from eIbich he graduated in 1872. He afterward wrote a book, "An Edinburgh Eleven." in which he has in- corporated some of his own experiences, ' but the book was not a vary great success, and 1s but little known. Soon after his graduation he secured a position as edi- torial writer on the Nottingham Journ- al and hero his literary life may be said to commence. He rapidly acquired the faculty of ex- pression which is so necessary to a news- paper or literary career. Out of his ournalistio experiences grew his first uccessful long story, "When a Man's Single," which was originally published n weekly instalments in the British Wgekly. "Auld Licht, Idylls," which had been nbllshod aomo time before, was a oollec- ton of short newspaper articles, but which were full of that quaint humor and athos which has since taken the reading ublio captive. From this time fortune eemed to smile upon the young author nd his work was in great demand. "A Window in Thrums," a collection of ketches, soon followed, and found a ady welcome. Succeeding this came 'My Lady Nicotine," with its "Arcadia lxture," for which every smoker has onged over since, and the "The Little inister," which revealed unexpected trongth in scenes of dramatic intensity nd power. Anything more powerful nd simple than the scene wherein Gavin ishart in the face of death by drown - ng admonishes his people, settles his state and calmly lends them in reciting ho fourteenth chapter of Matthew and hon in singing the twenty-third Psalm, s seldom read. Since then Mr. Barrie as published other books, but his repute - on rests chiefly on these. Mr. Barrie has al • o essayed the drama. play of his, "The Professor's - Love tory," met with considerable success, bile a broad farce comedy, "Walker ondon,' was successful only in the fact hat the author surrendered .gracefully Cupid and married the leading actress. The predominant characteristics of Mr. rrie's work are an exquisite sense of umor which manifests itself at the most Wing incident. Not the least amusing aturo of the drollness of the Scot is the ct that to him life is all serious and not r lsngbter. As Thomas Haggart says, A humorist doesna tell whaur the umor comes in," and neither does a cotchman, for says Thomas, "A body nna be oxpecklt baith to mak tho joke d to see't," which is true enough as r as the Scots are concerned. They ake the fun and the whole world ughs; but the subjects will never under - and it all without the proverbial sur - cal operation. But with an author on his chosen ound, his modals near him and the es of genius a -burning, the world will rely have more Scotch literature which 111 be worthy of that which has preced- it. j B i p t p p e a s re M 1 M s a a D e t t 1 h ti A S w L t to Ba h tr fo fa fo h S Ca an fa m la st gi gr flr su w ed SOAP AN ANTISEPTIC. Found Capable of Killing Typhoid Fever and Cholera Germs. Common soap has just been discovered to be the best of antiseptics. For years scientists have sought an antiseptic which would bo at the same time cheap and effective, and, like many another search, theirs has ended by finding the looked -for object under their noses. Recent experiments made in Germany by Prof. Max Jolles have proved that a solution of soap is perfectly capable of killing the microbes of typhoid favor and cholera. With a ono per cont solution twelve hours of contact are necessary, but with a solution of from seven to ten per oont. only a few minutes suffice to dos - troy the germs of disease. Thug the hands pr clothing washed in soapande and nothing else would effectu- ally bo freed from the possibility of spreading contagion. Prof. Jolles also assorts, as the result -of his investigations, that It Is not indispensable to kill the microbes at onto in order to render them harmless, but that a substance callable of exterminating them in, a shorter or longer time commences Its action by attenuat- ing their virulence; and rapidly causes them to become innocuous. . LOADING, AN OCEAN .I,INER, An important Operntien to the World's To watch the loading of grain, either from an elevator or a lighter, into One of the menunoth vessels engaged in its transportation, 1s to witness 'no Of the chief operations in the movements of the world's oommeroo. It is Carried in lung pipes, with a funnel -shaped moveable appendage at theend, which is shifted by means of a rope from ono part of the hold to another, according as a stream of grain fills up the spaces reserved for lt. The grain flows into the vessel with the noise and velocity of a torrent, and sends a dense volume of dust and chaff ill" ward, obscuring the depths beneath and making the men attending the stowage below look like ghosts in the rising mist. The "trimming" of the grain in the holds is an important part of its storage. After several thousand bushels have streamed into the bold; a dozen or more men are delegated to shovel the down - pouring column in between the vessel's beams, a job for whioh'they are paid at the rata of one cent a minute. In vassals of the Cunard stripe, it takes between 12,000 and 15,000 bushels to 1111 a hold, and these vessels average 50,000 bushels in the total cargo. Ships carrying grain alone can take as high as 125,000 bushels, and when it is Considered that from 4,000 to 7,000 bushels can be stored in an hour, every forty bushels weighing a ton, an idea can bo had of the force of the torrent directed into the vessel. Large vessels have four or five holds, and a distinction is made in storing the cargo in them. Grain, from its compact and dead weight, is reserved mostly for the centre of tho vessel, while cured pro- visions are packed as far forward and as far aft as possible, for their batter pres- ervation from the heat, of the ship's fires. In some vessels, like the great Cunarders, which carry passengers as well as freight, the heaviest weight is stored in the low- est hold; this is to steady tho vessel and is called in the technical parlance of the stevedore, "stiffening" the ship. It takes about 1,500 tons to "stiffen" a great Cun- ardor, and when this is done the lower hold is fastened and battened down and work is begun on the next. Rothschild and the Artist. Dining on one occasion with Baron James de Rothschild, Eugene Delacrolx, the famous French painter, confessed that for some time past he had vainly sought a head to serve as a modal for that of a beggar in a painting on which he was then engaged. and that as ho gazed at his host's features tho idea suddenly struck him that the very head ho desired was be- fore him. Rothschild, being a great ad- mirer of art, readily consented to sit for him as a beggar. The next day at the studio Delacroix placed a tunic round his shoulders, put a stout staff in his hand and made him pose as if he were resting on the steps of an ancient Roman temple. In this attitude he was discovered by one of the artist's favorite pupils, who, struck by the surpassing excellence of the modal, congratulated his master on having at last found exactly what he wanted. Naturally oonoluding the model had only just been brought in from some church porch, he seized an 'opportunity, when his master's eyes were turned, to slip a piece of stoney into the beggar's hand. Baron Rothschild thanked him with a look and kept tho money. The pupil soon quitted the studio. In answer to inquiries made Delacroix,told_ the. baron • that the -3%61114 man possessed talent, but no means. Shortly afterward the young follow received a letter stating that charity bears interest, and that the accumulated interest on the amount he had so generously given to 0110 whom he supposed to 1,e :t ,.,.rres,,n ed 1, tine stns 0f 1(1.000 .r.• ;. tri.t ., v,r•.; •1n, at fns d0,1,0.$)t1 ,:t t1;•• :; .tl.rc:•il.l for Infants and C THIRTY ears' observation of Carteria with, the millions .of persons, permit ns to speak of it Without i` It is unquestionably the best remedy for Infants lint the w • lrld has ever known.
