THE REORGANIZED MINISTRY.
The reorganization of the Ontario
Government retires from active service
fiwme gentlemen who have proven them-
selves to be among the most efficient
administrators of provincial affairs, arid
who deserve to be held in grateful re -
=ambiance, Mr. Stratton and. Mr.
Davis have been made the targets of a
great deal of Tory abase; the former
has been especially vilified. But these
charges have beau made by discredited
men—.whose statements on oath have
failed of acceptance by the judges. No
fair-minded person allows charges from
such men to bave auy weight. It is no-'
ticeable, however, that the moment the
abused ministers retire from the Gov-,
ernmenr•, the tone of their vilifiers is
modified. Mr. Stratton, for example,
we are still told, was a bad man. but his
badness was of a bold and unselfish type.
He sinned for the benefit of his associates
and deserves some sympathy in being
made a scapegoat. And with all his
badness, no fault is to be found with hit
administration, which was energetic
and capable. If this goes on, we shall
extiect in time to have him held up -to
public gaze as the best man in the Gov-
ernment, who was made the victim of
his wicked partners.
Tory praise of Mr Gibson is not yet
noticeable, because he still retains a
place in the Government, though with-
out portfolio. But it will doubtless
come in good time. Liberals, however,
need not wait to express their opinion of
him. A careful and cautious lawyer.
his management of the legalaffairs of
the Province has been wise and success -
fol. He has been both intelligent and
ene*etie. And his manner in dealing
with foes as well as friends has been
courteous and gentlemanly. Opponents
he has, enemies he has none. It is well
known that he has long been anxious to
be relieved of the labors of his depart-
ment, and his retirement now will be
agreeable to himself, tb.ough to be re-
gretted by the people be has served. It
is some satisfaction to know that he does
iltt propose to retire from the Legisla-
ture, and that the Liberal party will,
under any circumstances, still have tbe
benefit of .his counsel and support.
As to the new men in the Govern-
ment, they are not unknown. Mr.
EvantureI and Mr. Charlton have both
occupied the position of Speaker of the
Legislature, and have given evidence of
their ability. Mr. Graham and Mr. Mc-
Kay, though only private members,
have achieved both reputation and pop-
ularity. They are worthy specimens of
the younger generation of legislators,
and will doubtless prove themselves
capable administrators.
The reorganized. Government, under
the leadership of veteran statesmen, like
Ross. Harcourt and Dryden, stimulated
by the infusion of new blood, and pro-
moting a progressive policy, as out -lined
by the convention, will deserve and will
doubtless receive the hearty support of
i the Liberals of Ontario, and be endorsed
by the people at the coming election.—

LETTER FROM THE WEST.
The following letter from Mr. William
Robertson, our former townsman, will
no doubt be interesting to our readers:—
Editor WINoa L TIKES
DEAR SIR,— When I left OntarioeI
promised several of your readers to give
an account in your columns of my im-
pressions of this distant part of the Do -
minima ;
o -minion; so after having spent over seven
months in Southern Alberta, I think I
can speak somewhat accurately in regard
to it.
We are situated midway between Cal-
gary and McLeod, op the Calgary. and
Edmonton branch of -the C. P. Railway,
and about 70 miles from the Rooky
Mountains, in what is considered to bo
the best grazing part of the Alberta
district. Until about,,two years ago set-
tlers were very few, the conntry being
pastured only by the large ranchers who
in turn are now succeeded by the settlers
who are cultivating :the land with a
certain amount of success. However,
the ranchers in writing to .the Western
papers'conclude that they will soon be in
possession again, owing to the dryness of
the season and the scarcity of water; but
time will tell. We had` very little rain
here from the montli of May until the
middle of August, and yet the farmers
have had goud crops;; Oats, barley Sud
a limited amount of pall wheat has been.
the crop raised, and from a personal
conversation with a ihreeher he iuforms
me that the crops have varied from 40 to
100 bushels per acre for oats, 30 to 50
bushels for Fall wheat, and 10 to 50
bushels for barley, the larger yield on
land that had been cultivated the year
before. This part of the country is
mostly settled by Awerieaus from the
Western States, whq have been induced
to come here by the vigorous immigra-
don policy of the Domiuiou Government,
to try and better themselves. And from
what I have learned from them they
coneider they have made a wise move.
The land in this distriet is a black loam
with a mixture of clay and sand subsoil;
somewhat rolling, and has a very luxur-
iant covering of native grass. It is
watered by the Little Boyo and Mosquito
Rivers, whose source 'of supply is from
the Rookies.
As I mentioned before, this locality is
ideal for grazing purposes. Daring the
past ten days no less than ten thousand
head of cattle have passed here on their
way to their winter range. The cattle
run out all wiuter and find their own
feed, except on very cold days, when
they are fed some hay. These cattle are
all rolling fat and never have know what
it is to eat grain or be in a stable. One
large rancher here has five thousand
tons of hay put up which he will feed
this winter, and nearly every settler has
from one to five hundred tons for their
own use.
As regards the weather there is very lit-
tle Suow here in winter (no sleighs.) Oar
heaviest snow falls in May and October,
but only lasts for a few days. At time
of writing (middle of November) we are
having splendid weather, a lititle frost at
night and bright and 'warm during the
day. Farmers are busy plowing and pre-
paring their land for early sowing.
This country, as well as all others, has
its drawbacks. Lumber is scarce and
dear—in fact you people in Ontario can
get B. 0. lumber and shingles cheaper
than we can. Flour and nearly all the
necessaries that one has to purchase are
very high, owing to the excessive charge
of transportation made, by that gigantic
monopoly, the C, P. R. But these
things may better themselves after some
time, when we get greater railway facil-
ities.
Now I will draw to a close. If I have
left unsaid anything that any of your
readers or intending settlers require -any
information about, a letter or post -card
addressed to Nanton P.O., Alberta, will
be cheerfully answered.
Yours truly,
W s. ROBERTSON.

A CHANGE IN THE ACT DESIRED.
An evidenoe of the dissatisfaction felt
in regard to the Agricultural and Arts
Act which affects all the agricultural
and horticultural societies in Ontario
was furnished last week at the horti-
cnitural convention in Toronto. The
relation of the act to horticultural so-
cieties was discussed and a committee
appointed to wait on the Hon. John
Dryden, Minister of Agriculture to re-
quest that the Act be revised. It was
pointed out that many counties in the
Province have no horticultural societies.
Were horticultural societies to be estab-
liehed, its grant would have to be taken
from a part given to the agricultural
society. The objection on the part of
the agricultural societies in many coun-
ties, has been sufficientlystrong to pre-
vent the formation of horticultural so-
cieties. In other counties, where there
are number of agricultural societies,
the grants to the horticultural societieit
are so email that they are unable to do
effective work. The deputation asked
the ;Minister of Agrionitare to take steps
to place hortionItUral moieties oti afoot.,
ing of their Own. The Minister of
Agriotiltnre agreed with the claims and
a especial oaintialttee representing the
hortianitural eooietles will meet to sag-
ged
ag-
r t changes that may be made in the
Act. It ie probable a__Provincial Hoeg -
cultural Asooia' Wst i/+iri be formed.
TIIE MOAN TINES, DECEMBER 1,
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Manitoba Legislature hili been
ealled to meet on December 6.
Centre Bruce Liberals nominated Mr.
Andrew Malcolm of Kincardine for the
Legislature.
According to the Universal Standard
Catalogue of the Postage Stamps of the
world, the total number of all known
varieties of postage stamps issned by all
the governments of the world up to the
present time is 19,242. Of this number
205 have been issued in Great Britaiu,
and 5,711 in various British colonies and
protectorates, leaving 13,326 for the rest
of the world, Dividing the totals among
the continents, Enrope issued 4,089, Aeia
3,62$, Africa 4,005, America (including
the West Indies) 6,095, and Oceanica
1,425. Salvador hoe issued more varie-
ties of postage stamps than any ether
country, the number being 460 Poland
and Wadhwan have each found a soli-
tary specimen suffice for their postal
needs.
A consolidated rural School hasbeen
opened at Guelph wish 150 scholars, re-
presenting four school sections. The
experiment will be watched with great
interest, as it may open the door to a
great improvement in tbe educational
facilities for the ruled districts. The
greatest advantage of the plan is that it
permits of grading. Another is that it
makes the work of the teachers more at-
tractive, and will tend to raise the stan-
dard of the profession in the rural dis-
tricts, The part Sir William Macdon-
ald of Montreal is playing in providing
the greater portion Of the cost of this
experiment is to be highly commended.
It has added one more to the malty bene.
factions he has to his credit in the cause
of education in the Dominion.
A New Dairy Paper for Canada.
It is probable that Canada will short-
ly have a new dairy paper. Committees
appointed by the Eastern and Western
Dairymen's Associations have been con-
sidering the matter as a result of which
it has practically been decided to form a
joint stock company to start such a
paper and conduct it as the official organ
$f both associations. Stook in this.eom-
pany will be limited to parties directly
interested iu dairying. It is expected
the first number of the magazine will
be published in time for distribution at
the anneal convention of the Dairymen's
Association in January.
Although dairying is one of the lead-
ing industries of Canada, " there has
never been any regular dairy paper and
dairyman generally' have long felt the
need for such an organ. It is estima-
ted that there are about 325,000 people
in Canada directly interested in dairy-
ing, of which almost 1.00,000 live in
Ontario. It is probable that the dairy
paper and The Canadian Horticulturist,
the official organ of the Ontario Fruit
Growers' Association will be published
under one management. The dairy
paper will be issaed semi-monthly for 60
cents a year, or 2 years for $1, thus en-
suring a large circulation. As both
papers have fields of their own, it is not
expected there will be any conflict with
the already established farm papers.
WHAT IS ANTI -PILL?
A Somewhat Peculiar Name Explained—
How Dr. Leonlnardt Came to Call His
Famous Prescription "Anti-Plil,"
Dr. Leonhardt found in his practice
that chronic constipation and its kin-
dred complaints were the result of a
dried-up condition of the mucous
membrance lining of the stomach and
bowels. He investigated further and
found that this condition was invari-
ably brought about ley the use of
cathartics, which all contain a certain
amount of resinous matter.
After the first action of such medi-
cines a resinous residue remains behind
and this has a drying effect on the lining
of the stomach and bowels.
He made up his mind to produce a
medicine for all stomach and bowel der-
angements which would be entirely free
from all resinous matter.
After much experiment he succeeded,
and to emphasize the difference bet-
ween his treatment and the old-fashion-
ed treatment, he gave it the name "Ant -
Pill."
Anti -Pill will cure dyspepsia, bilious-
ness, or constipation perfectly and for
ever—care to stay oared—with no pill
habit left to be overcome later.

KEEP THE BLOOD pURE,
Nearly .All the Common UIs of Life
are Caused by Weak,. Watery
and Impure Blood.
131d bloori means bad health. That ie
why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mean
good health -.-:boy aotuelly make new,
nob blood, Bad blood poisons the
lingeriug colds, in fact the whole
system. The nerves break down,the
liver goes wrong, the kidneys get ologgod
and inflamed, • the heart flatters and
jumps at the least excitement, the stom-
ach loses its power to digest food, the
lungs are unable to throw off the. whole
body gets out of order. Then yoa have
headaches and backech tea, can't sleep
and can't eat and feel utterly miser-
able. And it all comes from bad blood
and can be cared by the rich, red blood
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills seads'coursing
to every part of the body. Mr. Daniel
McKinnon, of North Pelham, Ont.,
suffered from bad blood, but has been
made well and stone by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills after all other treatment had
failed, Mr. McKinnon says:-" Until
last spring I had been afflicted with a
week stomach, headaches and kidney
troubles. At times I was completely
prostrated and my sufferings were of a
most severe iiatnre. At different times
I was treated by Ito less than seven
doctors, but from ague of them did I
get more than temporary relief. As
time went on I becawe hopeless of ever
being well again. Last spring a friend
drew my ,attention to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills andI decided to try this meh-
iciue. I had only taken four boxes when
I found a decided improvement in my con-'
dition, and I continued using the pills un-
til I had taken a doxRn boxes when I was
a cured man and the saferings I had
formerly endured weire but t) disagree-
able memory. I admit being an entltu
eiaetic admirer of pr. Williams' Pink
Pills, but I think I have jnst cause for
my enthusiasm and will always recom-
mend them to my ailing friends,"
Just as surely as Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills cured Mr. McKinnon they can
cure anaemia, indigestion, headaches,
bachaches, kidney trodble, rheumatism,
lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous -
nese, general weakneret and the special
ailments of growing girls,and women.
All these ailments come from bad blood,
and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can cure
them by filling the veins with new, rich,
red blood. But yon -must be sure to
have the genuine pills with the full
name Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People on the wrapper around every
box. Sold by medicine dealers every-

Of love immortal, I shall tease to grieve.

Among the greatest mysteries in the
mystery of the past human history on
earth.the monoliths that etand in vara-
ons parts of the globe have always
been chief.
These strange stone monuments, g4t1-
erally .rude,, with hardly any sculpture,
but wonderfully large In size, are scat-
tetil everywhere. The :most famous
of them are the cromlechs, such as
those In Stonehenge, ip England. Oth-
ers are found in the western part of
France, in the northern part of Ger-
many as far as the Oder'river, In Den-
mark and in Sweden.
Northern Africa, Madagascar and
Asia, from Mount Sinai and the Cau-
casus to India, all have some here and
there.
'Lately they have been discovered
even in Siberia. There are several
places In Japan where such stones
stand.
Others have been found in North and
South America. Amdug the most won-
derful and mysterious of them all are
the vast, almost terrifying, stones,
rudely sculptured, that have been
found on Easter island, in the Pacifie
ocean.
The mystery as to what these stones
meant was not the only puzzle. The
greatest puzzle was how primitive peo-
ple, without knowledge of engineering
and without known appliances, could;
have moved and erected such giant
blocks, some of which weigh as mucic
as 20 tons. In many districts where
the great memorials stand there are
no stones of such size to be found in
the earth. Consequentlry they must
have been transported from places long
distances away.
For many generations—ever since
men have spent any time in thinking;
over these matters—scientists have
puzzled their heads over the monoliths
in vain. Whether they classed them as
all being the same or whether they:
divided then; into different classes,
they remained the same riddle.
In more recent years, however, there
has been a systematic study of all the
monolith memoi•:ails of the world, and
gs a result a navel theory bas been
advanced.
It is that one race—that of the
Phoenicians—erected all these monu-
ments.
Of course if this is correct it means•
that history will have to be revised,
for it would show that the Phoenicians
once knew all about tbe whole globe
and that they had visited America and
Asia long before modern days.
The first thing that led to the as-
sumption that the Phoenicians bad
raised the monuments was the obser-
vation of M. Levistre, a French ar-
chaeologist, that almost all the mono-
liths were to be found near the mouths
of great rivers or along their courses -
This pointed to a people that used
ships.
Now, the Celts were never strong on
the water. Their boats were primitive,,
being mostly of wickerwork covered
with hides, and they were unable to
move any distance from land in these
clumsy and unseaworthy contrivances.
Consequently, when the question
arose as to what race was advanced in
navigation In that early time when
these monuments were put up, the
answer 'naturally came that the only
race known to be a race Of sailors and
merchants then was the race of the
Phoenicians.
And if they were the Pboenicians
how did tliey come to reach America?
They had colonies on the islands of
the western Mediterranean. and eveh
in the islands of the Atlantic ocean,
as History proves. It is not hard to
imagine that they may have found
their way to America. Some archae-
ologists are even willing to believe
that they reached America by wayof
the lost Atlantis, that legendary con-
tinent that is now sunken somewhere
in the Atlantic ocean, if it ever ex-
isted.
At any rate, the theory that the -
Phoenicians were the erectors of the.
monoliths of the world to commemo-
rate discoveries or for religious pur-
poses still later on gabled strength
through the discovery of a great up-
right stone near the river Loire, which
bas Phoenician words engraved deeply
on it. Translated, these words say,
"On this spot Was slain our brave com-
rade."
In San Luis, in Bolivia, Is one of
these stones, which has on it the en-
graving of a foot printed and a snake
'with its head raised. The footprint is
a well known Phoenician symbol of
death and is found on many stoners
that cover ancient Phoenician burial
sites. And the snake with head raised
is another acknowledged Phoenician
emblem. Exactly the same symbols as
those on the South American stone
have been found on it intone in central
France.-New'York Press.
