The proposed legislation through the Dominion Parliament for the reg- ulation of the manufacture and sale of patent or proprietary medicines is of the utmost importance, and it is receiving a great deal of attention, not only by the proprietary medicine manufacturers, but also by the leading doctors and druggists. Every manu- facturer of reliable and high class remedies welcomes the bill as a step in the right direction. The discussion has brought out the fact that the best physicians in Canada and on the con- tinent approve of and prescribe Psy- chine in oases of tire most difficult character. In a recent instance of very serious throat and lung trouble the patient had been using Psychine. Two leading United States specialists were consulted, in addition to two eminent Canadian physicians. Upon learning what the patiopt was using, a sample of Psychine was taken and analyzed, with the result that the physicians advised its continuance. They proscribed no other medicine but Psychine, with the result that the pa- tient has fully recovered and is a splendid walking and talking adver- tisement for the wonderful curative power of a remedy that will "stand up" before the keenest professional criticism and analysis. As a builder up of the system and restorer of all wasted conditions, Psychine has no equal, and the best and most earnest physicians recognize this fact. "At the age of 25 my lungs were in a terrible state. I had la grippe the year before; it settled on my lungs and 1 kept steadily growing worse till I got down so low I was in bed for six week.. I had a consultation of doctors, and they said they could do nothing more for me. Then I started to use Psychine. I took the medicine for more than a year. It certainly did wonders for me. I am now as strong as I was before my sickness." MRS. H. HOPE, Morpoth, Ont. Psychine, pronounced Si -keen, is the greatest of tonics, building up the sys- tem, increasing the appetite, purify- ing the blood, aids digestion, and acts directly upon the throat and lungs, giving tone and vigor to the entire system.

Robert Thompson disposed of his fancy driver to Jno. Swartz of Wing - ham, at a good figure. Brussels Football team will go to Clinton for Victoria Day and play an exhibition game with the sturdy kick- ers of that town at their celebration. Mrs. Oakley, Queen street, brought The Post last week samples of ripe strawberries grown in the house. She picked the first berries on April 29th. Brussels played their second game of Foot Ball in the Intermediate series in Listowel on Wednesday evening of last week. The result of the match was 2 to 1 in favor of Brussels. A few citizens are proposing to bore for oil, or gas, somewhere near the G. T. R. station as oil indications were found long ago in sinking the salt well and also at the deep well at the terrace. Mumps are taking their innings in town. No partiality is being shown as to age or sex. The attendance in some departments of the public school has been very materially reduced owing to the epidemic. N. B. Gerry, formerly of Brussels, has disposed of his hardware business at Blyth to G. E. Denstedt, who will get possession in a few weeks. Mr. Gerry may remove to Fort William if he disposes of his desirable residence and real estate. An Ottawa paper has this to say of the son of Thos. Farrow, postmaster of Brussels:—"R. R. Farrow, who has been appointed assistant commissioner of the customs department in succes- sion to John Bain, who resigned some time ago, has been connected with the civil service since January 15th, 1881, his first office being sessional clerk of the House of Commons, He filled that position during the session of 1881, at the close of which he went to the department of Agriculture, where he was employed for three years at statistical work. In June 1884, he was transferred to the customs depart- ment as junior clerk in the ac- countant's branch. His ability and energy marked him for preferment and on the 1st of July 1894, he was ap- pointed accountant, which position he filled most creditably until his recent appointment to a higher post. Mr. Farrow has been assiduous in the dis- charge of his responsible duties and his promotion comes solely as a re- ward of merit," *Dews litems —The plan for enlarging the Grand Trunk ear works in the east end of London will involve an outlay of $75,- 000 by the company, and a probable increase of 200 in number of em- ployes, --The Collingwood Shipbuilding Co, propose to build a second dry dock 650 feet in length, also, to provide building berths, for steamers of the 600 -foot class, something which does not at present exist in Canada, Goderich, May 16. --About 1 o'clock this morning the broke out in the Star Roller Mills, owned by N. Dietrich & Son. The fire was not discovered for some time and before the firemen could get there the whole building was one mass of flames. Listowel, Ont., May 15.—Alvin Lud- wood, the son of a well-to-do farmer in the township of Wallace, near here,. was instantly killed this morning while driving a team hitched to a roll- er. The horses became unmanage- able, throwing the young man in front of the rollers, which passed over him, killing him instantly. —The Bruce Telephone Company has been formed, which promises rural telephones for $12 a year, in the coun- ty, between farm houses ° and the towns and the villages. Already an agreement has been made with the village of Teeswater and the township of Culross. The agreement made with Teeswater provides that the franchise expires at the end of 20 years, and subscribers are not to be charged snore than $12 a year. The village gets $48 yearly for the use of the streets. The farmers are taking great interest in the matter. —Mr. Archibald Wilson and sons of near Durham, went West to settle, but came home last week from the West, where their experience was such as to deter them from becoming residents and they have determined that South Grey and Ontario is good enough for them. By all accounts the new provinces would do well to act and to act quickly in the effort to pre- vent the operation of land sharks, who are waiting to prey on unsuspect- ing immigrants. When he reached Stettler he found he had been grossly deceived as to the quality of his land purchased there, and his name had never even been entered in the land agency, He sold one of his cars of stuff, and at great expense got anoth- er to come home with. When he left there were about seven feet of snow, with poor prospects owing to mining and other troubles. Why Burn Your Toes ?

That the "desert shall blossom as the rose" seems to be on the way to literal fulfilment in more than one place in this old world. In the Uncomphagre Valley, in Col- orado, there lies 150,000 acres of land, so rich that with a proper supply of water, a five -acre homestead would support an ordinary family, but utter- ly useless for want of that supply. Some few miles away runs a river, but heretofore it has been separated from this area by a wall of rock 2,000 feet high and six miles thick. The river, at the only available point, runs through a canyon, so deep and dan- gerous that even the Indians would not attempt its descent. No man, they said, had ever attempted the feat and come out alive. Nevertheless, two surveyors, M. A. Fellows and W. W. Torrence, volunteered- the inspec- tion. Carrying their necessary sur- veying instruments with them, they were lowered by ropes 2,000 feet down to the dizzy depths. For several days nothing was heard of them, and it was feared that they had perished. Then they emerged, bruised, hungry. Their raft had been wrecked, their provisions lost ; for two days they had nothing to eat --but they had dis- covered that the "Gunnison" tunnel was practicable. The next step, then, was to set about excavating this tunnel—this great aqueduct that was to carry the bloom of Eden to the arid wastes over the wall. Already the work has been cut more than half of the six miles through the rock. When dug, its capacity will be 13,000 cubic feet of water per second. It will be cement - lined throughout, and will be com- pleted in 1908, at a total cost of $2,- 000,000. At Salt River, in Arizona, a dam of solid masonry 270 feet high is being built. When completed, it will create a lake 25 miles long and 200 feet deep, from which 200,000 acres of now arid land will be irrigated. This project will cost $5,650,000. Again, in Wyom- ing, another famous damn, the Sho- shone, is being erected. It will be 310 feet in height, and will convert a nar- row, granite canyon into a lake cover- ing 5,000 acres. The total cost will be $9,250;000, but 310,000 acres of land will be reclaimed. Thus as population increases, the waste land is being re- claimed and made capable of support- ing them, and to the wilderness, water is being conducted that will make the deserts fruitful.
