In connection with an nrtiele on radi- um and the price of that extraordinary metal, a correspondent writes to one of the uewspaprrc:-"I am selling pure radium bromidett t 8 shillin •s permilli- gram, u gram, which is equal to £400.000 per kilo.'

The a t0 F m un fent stored u i in dz o the new fiY } element is said to be enormous, and it is within the bounds of possibility that it may come into practical use before many yeitrs are over. lg The Toronto Telegram al proves of the action of the Conservative managers iu raising a Gamey fund. We do not see what legitimate usethere is for such a fund, in view of rhe Legislature having undertaken to pay all expenses of troth sides in connection with the judicial in- vestigation, inledingwitnesses fees, but 'we agree with the Tel. gram's view that if a fun 1 is required by a political party it is better that it shonld be raised from the members of that party as a whole than from a group of rich omen "who se- cure the right to govern the country in return for contributions to the funds of the party." If iudividual Liberals and Conservatives would make small contri- butions yearly to party funds for legiti- mate expenses they would place their leaders in positions of iudependence,and remove a stigma attached to both parties -than of pandering to corpovetions and wealthy Hien for financial help towards election machinery. -Stratford Beacon. A Good One. Two mischievous girls whn are mem- bers of a church choir in a country town, figured recently in a 1nughable, incident says an exchange, which is quite good enough to hear repeatimt. It] solve way, known only to themselves. they became possessed of the subject of the minister's Sunday morning sermon, and thereupon set about selectins; songs in harmony Svith the theme. On Sunday morning they were on hand bright and early, looking innocent enough to deceive a brace of Pinkerton detectives. One of them seated herself at the organ and played, "Faint yet Pursuing." Then the minister arose and consulting the list handed him, called cut for number -95. The choir sat g "almost Persuad- ed," The minister arose and announced his theme, "Courtship and Marriage," read the lesson and called the next hymn. The choir sang. "Triutilah tut at Last," and the congregation',began to look amused. After praying "sing number •201," said the minister, and in his pati. tion asked that the spirit of levity which possessed some of his heaters 1,e banish- ed. Then the choir sang •Hasten, Lord, the Glorious Day," and everybody laughed. Even the minister had difficul- ty in stifling a smile vvhen the choir struck up, "Behold the Bridegroom Cometh," and the congregation became positively hilarious as the organ pealed out the opening notes of "t'iTiat shall the Harvest Be?" And througliout, those wicked aids]. rsserved their 4pression of saintly innocence and afterw 4rds decided it was "the most peculiar aid striking Coincidence" they ever hear' 1of.

Twenty Years of Itching Piles Mr. Alex. McLaughlin. thirty years resident of Bowmanville. Ont.. writes *'For twenty long years I suffered from itching piles, and only persons who hae been troubled with that annoying disease can imagine' what I endured during that trine. About seven years ago I asked a d'rogglat if be had anything to cure me. Ile said that Dr. Chase's Ointment was Most favorably spoken of, and on his recommendation I took a box. "After three applications 1 felt better, and by the time I had used one hos I was Galt a fair way to recevery. 1 continued the treatment until thoroughly cured,and as that was seven years ago, and 1 have not Suffered any since, 1 am firmly convinced Sat the eindrtient made a perfect cure. 4' 1 ceaSedder Dr. Ckttee's Ointment an Investable tliiztriirent for piles.

Mature weachee, a Lessen that Tired, Ex. imitated :den and W amen Shuttle renew Tho spring is the season when nature prepares for summer. All the trees and plants are tilled withnew stip to build and brace them up to withstand the coming loot season. Without new sap in the spring a plant would wither and disbee h a the midsummer n t e m ds comer st.n. It is the sante with men aucl women. All physician are agreed that everyoueueeds a fresh supply allow blood in the apriu.:. Without the uew blood yon would be as helpless in. the summer as a tree without new stip. What you need at this season is a tonic to give you uew blood, and the very best Mule medical science hes discovered is De. Williams' Pink Pills. Every pill Makes uew, rich, iced blood, braces the nerves and overcomes all weakness, headache, backaches, indigestion, loss of appetite, skin erupti•nus and other troubles so common in spring. This is an established fact,P byroved thousands in every part of the. world. ii Miss A. M. Tucker, Oxdrift,Ont.,says: "I do not know what would have become of me had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My bleed seemed to have turned to water and I was troubled with dizziness, headaches and nervous pros- tration, I got so Weak that t could hardly go about, and notwithstanding that I was constantly doctoring I got no relief until I began using Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills, They completely cured nue and have given me back all my old-time health and strength," What these pills have done for Miss Tuckey and thousands of others they will do for you. They will snake you bright, vigorous and strong. Don't take aanhstitute nor any of the "just as good as" medicines which some dealers push because of a. larger profit. See that the full name "Dr: Williams!' Piuk Pills for Pale People"is found on the wrapper around every box. If in doubt seed direct to the Dr. Williams'Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be mailed at 50o a box or six boxes for $2 55. Advertising Suggestions. There are periods in the experience of every retailer when be becomes te.n-por• arily enthusiastic over the business - building opportunities that lie in good advertising,says"Hardware and Metal." He has zead of the success of others through the adoption of certain progres- sive•methols; he has heard about men situated like himself who' have "made things hum" by continually keeping at it. a Iu one form or another he gets an un- limited amount of advertising logic hand- ed out to him. He reads in his favorite trade paper abont "how he shonld do it." The solicitor for the 1oca1 newspaper is continually dunning himlfor au ad., re- minding him with each visit of the op- portunities for getting new business he is missing by not having his ad. in the paper which is read ley all the people to whom he looks for patronage. In his quieter moments he ponders over these things, and no man who is anxious to make a success of his business can get away from the influence of this kind of talk long. Finally, he desides „to "try it for a while " He contracts for a certain amount of space in the local papers, and then sits down to write an ad. The fact that what he is about to pre- pare is going in print inakes hint very particular about what ire says and how he says it. He is imprssed with the ne- cessity of making it reitd "nice" and it is quite natural that he should be. The fact of his giving serious attention to the "copy" is an encouraging sign. In order to make sure that his ad. will beneficed, he thinks he ought to say something startling, so he looks through his competitors' ads. and racks his brain to try and think of some scheme or bar- gain that will "go them one better." He tries so hard to think of something "big" to say that he overlooks the little things that go so far in making an ad. interesting and effective. It doesn't lie in the province of the or- dinary retailer to do ;; hig" things, com- paratively speaking, so, after repeated efforts to write somethine out of the or- dinary, lie finally faliS back on a formal announcement, which runs something like this: 4,010.

While this kind Of publicity man do him good -almost any kind of an effort will do hint some good -it falls far short of the possibilities, The fact that the same thing has been said hundreds of times before by Tal, many different dealers, and that it really conveys no tneaning either to your mind or anyone else, detracts from rte e If our Mailer has nev fore. however, and does but very few results Mr kind of us & , he'll itwill dis.

Is itanyhe znan wonder t. at a great y retailers cannot ui .clerstand all this talk about the power ofar•dvertising in getting new business? Po you ever wonder why your ad- vertising does not bring you the results You expect? Is this the reason? Tho public usually take about as much interest in a merclraht's ads. as he does himself. 1 ry But if lie doesn't to a enough interest in his advertisings ace to use it to give P 6 the public the news °lof his store. lie should not expect the>i to give his ad. vertising,orhis store,e attention. t z � yI is, therefore, not surprising that his ad- vertising expenditure is practically a dead loss, People read the papers for the news they contain. They no more think of reading the same ird. every time it is published than they would think of re- peatedly reading the same item of ordi- nary news. To get the best regults frotn your ad- vertising it is necessisry to change your ad, every time the pipers in which you advertise are issnecl4'even if it be every day. And if you're ever stuck for something to say, think of what; the traveller said when he sold you she goods -thing of the reason why you bought that produce from the farmer --and this "talk" was good enough to sell the goods to you, it will likely prove effec�ive in reselling these goo)ls to the pnblt. It isn't tall: alone that sells ynu your stock, nor is it tal!ealtlhe that sells that stock to the public. *i'ou usually have some samples.

Johnston. Toronto, April 9. -The develop- ment le the Gamey case yesterday was the opening of the sealed enve- lope filed by the prosecution, and which the Registrar had been in- greeted not to open until court ,ire- sumed. This step was in the end the result of a voluntary offer by Air. McPherson to Mr. Johnson, but it is an interesting fact that at. the very moment the letter was deliver- ed elivered to Air. Johnston by special mos- eenger he was leaving for Osgoode Hall to take preljminzu'y stops with the commissioners to have the Pack- age opened, on the ground that it was a production that was not a. production at all. Closeted For an Hour. The examination of the papers was promptly carried out in the terms of Mr. McPherson's offer, Afr.
