A Fast Skater.
The following from the Brockville
Recorder shores that Maurice, son of
T. II, Ross of Winglutm, is still win-
ning in ehainplonship 'matches 8S a
swift skater :—The championship race
brought out two contestants, M. Ross
and M. Pennock. The former is now
n resident of Brockville, being em-
ployed with Mtn G. D, Richesas
piano tuner, and he easily showed last
evening that he was a skater of the
fastest time. The race was a mile,
which meant thirteen laps around the
rink. Pennock started off with the
lead and kept it up until the eighth
lap when Ross easily forged ahead and
won out by about half a lap.
Household Hints.
Butter is excellent for a burn ; if the
spot is covered instantly with butter
the skin will not . blister....Touch
warts and corns with a tiny brush or
feather dipped in iodine, and they will.
gradually disappear....A healing oint-
ment for all skin eruptions is made by
;nixing thoroughly one part of bis-
muth to three pouts of white vase -
line .People with poor digestion
should drink no water with the meals,
but take a glassful half an hour be-
fore, and drink plentifully an hour or
so after each meal .... Equal parts of
Castile soap, powdered orris root and
precipitated chalk, make a good and
inexpensive tooth powder....For a
severe headache, a towel wrung out of
hot water, and applied to 'the back of
the neck, will often give instant re-
lief ....The juice of an orange in a cup
of hot water, taken before breakfast,
is healthful and good for indigestion
and constipation.

A February Wedding.
The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Snell, Victoria street, was the scene
of a pretty home wedding on Tues-
day, kith inst., when their daughter,
Miss Annie, became the bride of Mr.
Geo. J. Rodwell, of Middleton, .near
Tilsonburg.. The bride was a member
of the Methodist' Church choir, and
will be missed in this relationship.
The groom is a prosperous farmer,
held in esteem bythose
who
know
him. Rev. Dr. Gundy performed' the
marriage ceremony in the presence of
the relatives and intimate friends of
the bride and groom. The bride wore
a travelling snit of navy blue cloth,
withh'
w ito silk waist. The ceremony
over, congratulations followed, and
the happy company sat down to a
tastily -Prepared wedding luncheon.
The presents were numerous and
costly, showing the esteem in which
the bride and groom were held. The
groom's present to the bride was an
upright piano. Many wishes for a
happy future accompany Mr. and
Mrs. Rodwell to their home.
Tobacco Is Money.
At Blenheim (Ont.) correspondent
says :—A novel sight alight have been
seen any day this week, when very
many large loads of tobacco piled high
like tons of hay, were drawn into
town and sold to buyers who readily
paid from 11 to 13 eents a pound for
this home-grown luxury that of late
years has proven so
prolific
andp ro-
citable in this neighborhood. Gil.
Pardo brought in five tons in two
loads which netted hint $240 a ton or
$1200. Messrs, Wickwire and Mc-
Pherson had three tons on one load,
making a most valuable comiuodity,
and bringing $720, while another big
load brought nearly .$1,000. Over
three ear loads of this smokers' de-
light was delivered and shipped from
here on Tuesday last for Montreal, the
same being excellent. A small farm,
well tilled, and cultivated to the
White Burley brand with a few sea-
sons' crop will put the owner on easy
street with his pockets well lined with
gold, and Southern Kent seems to be
best adapted for this valuable crop.
A large acreage will be put in this
season.
Deceased At 65.
Citizens of Wingham were much
surprised on Thursday horning to
hear that

was followed by pnetunonia, and
death ensued on Thursday morning.

land. He cane to Wingham about
six years ago from McKillop ; previous

Peat Once More.
The Advance believes that the time
is coming when peat will be used ex-
tensively for fuel in Ontario, hence
any information we find we give to
the public. The Thamesford Star re-
ports that a Peat manufacturing plant
has been purchased by a citizen of
Thamesford, to be run by steam and
electric power, and capable of-making
one ton of fuel per hour. Ten men
will be employed in working the plant,
and the peat can be produced for $4.5`0
a ton. It is claimed it will prove more
economical than coal, and give much
less waste.

From Wingham.
The Lucknow Sentinel has the fol-
lowing : — Despite the very stormy
weather on Thursday evening last,
there was &large audience in the Town
Hall, to hear Rev. Mr. Lowe, of Wing -
ham, give his popular lecture an "Ire-
land and its People," and -none went
away disappointed. It was brim full
of wit and humor', and the many Irish
songs contributed during the evening
greatly added to the pleasure of the
lecture. Miss Chisholm, of Wingham,
who appeared before a Lucknow audi-
ence for the first time, was well re-
ceived and her beautiful solos "The
Exile's Return" and the "Low Back
Car" were heartily applauded.

Happily Wedded.
The London Free Press gives the
following account of the marriage of
Mr. John McCracken of Blnevale
road.—"A very pretty ceremony took
place at the residence of Mr. John
Perrin, of Simcoc street, on the after-
noof of February 8th, when this
daughter Mande was united in mar-
riage to Mr. McCracken, of Bluevale,
Ont. Rev. Jets. Livingstone, of Wel-
lington St. Methodist church, per-
formed the ceremony, assisted by Rev.
Mr. McCracken, of Thorndale Epis-
copal church, brother of the groom.
Tho wedding guests dined at the house
of the bride's father, and the happy
pair left on the afternoon train for
Bluevale, where they will reside.

popular o t

Worth Knowing.
Two correspondents of the Scottish
Fitrnier, in a late issue, recommended
for the relief of cattle choked with
turnips or suffering from bourn or
bloating, the following simple device :
Tie a round stick, about 10 inches long
and 16 inches thick, firmly in the
mouth, The working of the tongue
and jaws in the effort to remove the
stick, has the effect of dislodging the
turnip and of letting off the gas from
the stomach. One of the writers,
going further into particulars, says
the stick should be twelve inches long,
Two inches frau catch end bore a half-
inch hole. Into each of these holes
fir a piece of ordinary plow line about
2 feet in length. One inch from these
holes, or 3 inches from each end, bore
another two holes (same diameter) at
I angles to the holes already made
for the strings. into each of these
wo holes drive a piece of tough wood
about six inches in length. These
prevent the stick working out of the
noutli, the strings being tied at the
aek of the ears.
Golden Wedding:
Mr. end Ml's, Edward. Bosman of

side of a week, the little advertise-
ment did its work, and the ]louse is
sold, Wellington Adams is the pur-
chaser, at the price of $000, which was
satisfactory to both parties.. Mrs.

News Of Death.
Mrs. Ellen Elliott received the sad
news last week of the death of her
mother, Mrs. Vanderburg, of Petrolea.
On account of the state of her own
health, Mrs. Elliott was unable to at-
tend the funeral, which made the
bereavement even more sad. Deceas-
ed was eighty years of age, and had
only been ill a few days. She leaves
five daughters and three sons, who
mourn the loss of a kind and affection-
ate mother.

Railways And Storms.
The week now passing has been one
of very decided storms and severe
cold. The railways were congratulat-
ing themselves upon having a fairly
easy time, but for the past few weeks,
the snow has been accumulating until
it is beginning to cause delay, expense
and inconvenience. A11 day Sunday,
a gang of men and a snowplow were
endeavoring to keep the road open to
Kincardine, but the plow got stuck
near Ripley. Another plow went up
on Monday and ran into the first,
completely wrecking it and the con-
ductor's Van, so that they had to be
burned, and at time of writing Wed-
nesday morning, the road is still
blocked. Monday night's train from
London did not reach Wingham till
nearly 3 a.m., Tuesday. On Tnesday
the morning train from London got as
far as Clinton, anti the horning train
from Winghanh reached Clinton, but
did not get, back to Wingham till next
day. Tuesday's C.P.R. train, due here
1.17, slid not reach Wingham until 0
p.ln. The depth of snow and condi-
tions of the roads cau8e many fears of
a repetition of last winter's blockades.

The Orillia Council has offered a
free door incandescent light to every
light taker in the town in.. order to
popularize the electric light system.
Such a light will prove not only a con-

stant advertisement of the electric
light department and an inducement
to others to have the lights installed.
Must Keep Sweet.
Hugh Blain, President of the Berlin
sugar factory, in an interview with
the Globe, says Canada is consuming
about 400,000,000 lbs. of sugar annual-
ly. As the price now is about 2 cts.
per lb. higher than last year, this
means that the people of Canada will,
if the present scale of prices continues,
pay about $8,000,000 more for their
sugar in 1905 than they did in 1904.
Hockey Match.
Wingham Hockey team went to
Palmerston on Wednesday of last
week to play the team of that town.
It was a hotly contested game, and
the checking was lively and energetic
on both sides. Mr. McLeod of Forest
refereed the game to the satisfaction
of both teams ; score -6-3 in favor
of Wingham. This leaves Wingham
and Lucknow a tie for first place in
the Northern League, and as Wing -
ham desires to win or lose on the ice
they have withdrawn the protest
against Lucknow, but Lucknow will
have to explain to the executive why
they played Irwin and Woodgate of
Ripley in the first game of the league
without a certificate. This leaves a
four -cornered tie in the Northern
League, and three games will have to
be played to decide the championship.

• HOUSE OF COMMONS.
From reports of the discussions in
the House, we note that Dr. Chisholm,
the popular representative of East
Huron, is alive to the interests of the
farmers of his constituency. When
the Good Seeds Bill came up for dis-
cussion, Dr. Chisholm pointed out a
difficulty in the Bill, that while per-
mitting the foreign merchant to ship
in bad seed, the Bill would interfere
with the Iocal trade. The Minister of
Agriculture thanked Dr. Chisholm for
his practical.suggestion. Our copy of
Hansard failed to reached us, hence
we cannot give Dr. Ohisholm's re-
marks in full.
THEN ANOTHER
The House went into committee on
Hon. Mr. Fisher's resolution provid-
ing that apples for export sold by the
box should be placed in boxes not less
than
ten inches ches deep, 11 inches wide
and 20 inches long. This was merely a
minimums size. It would be quite
possible to pack in larger sized boxes.
He had suggested this size as a result
of many communications with the
fruit -growers, and it was in the
nature of a compromise. Three such
boxes would hold the barrel of apples
of the standard size. He said the pro-
posal was the outcome of the repre-
sentations of the fruit hell, the ma-
jority of whom wanted the measure
confined to apples for export, and
therefore the resolution had been
drafted on those lines. It was propos-
ed that the law should not go into ef-
fect until July 1, 1006.
Dr. Chisholm said he would like to
see more inspectors sent out by the
department, so that they could in-
struct the fanners as to the best
method for packing apples. Personal-
ly he rathered liked the idea of a
standard box. Often fanners found
difficulty in securing a sufficient quan-
tity of barrels. He had known of in-
stances in his riding of East Huron
when large quantities of apples had to
go to rot because barrels could not be
obtained.
Zion. Mr. Fisher thanked Dr. Chis-
holm for his friendly criticism, and
said that all effort would be made to
se11d out 11101'e inspectors.
Here are two occasions; where the
nme)lhber for Fast Iinroil has been
thanked by the Minister of Agricul-
ture for his practical suggestions.
Such suggestions are worth more to
the farmers than a two-hour display
of oratorical fireworks.
