You have often beard people say: "Its only w cold, a trifling cough," but many a life history would read different if, on the first appearance of a cough, it had been remedied with DR. WOOD'S NOR- WAY PINE SYRUP. It is a pleasant, safe and effectual remedy, that may bo confidently relied upon as a specific for Coughs and Colds of all kinds, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Paine in Chest, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Quinsy, and all affec- tions of the Throat and Lungs. Mrs Stephen E. Strong, Berwick, N.S., writes: "I have used Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup for Asthma, and have found it to be a grand medicine, always giving quick relief. We would not be without a bottle of it in the house." Dr. Woods Norway Pine Syrup is put up in a yellow wrapper. Three Pine Trees is the trade mark and the price 25 cents at all dealere.

ELLIOTT, PunLrsuaa ANDPRopRIETOP THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1.906. PULSE OF THE PRESS. Who gets the enormous "rake-off" on the $0,000,000 Ontario loan? If Toron- to 312 per cents sells at 1021:,, why should the 3M per Dant. bonds of Ontario, with all the wealth of the entire Province as a guarantee, he sold at 96? Who is to be made wealthy by the margin of G per cent ou that :I6,000,000. -Hamilton Times. Hon. Mr. Hanna's liquor license bill forbids the employment of barmaids in Canada. Barmaids have been imported into Canada from England on several oc- casions, but unlike the English sparrow, they never seemed to thrive in this conn - try. If they were not good looking they drove away customers and if they were good looking the customers married them. For these reasons we believe the barmaid is extinct in Ontario. -Ottawa Citizen. There is no rauker kind of folly than that which makes cheapness one of the primary considerations in the engage• ment of a teacher. There is no class that has a more direct and potent influ- ence in moulding the ideals and charac- ter of our future citizens than our teach- er, and for our nurseries of citizenship we must have men and women of the beet brand. A broad -visioned and liber- al policy which will put the teaching profession into something like the same position as the other 'learned profession' will tell very directly on the future of our national character. -The Presbyter- ian. The Whitney Government has intima- ted its intention of departing from the time•honored practice of appointing Registrars and Sheriffs ae returning offi. cars, and substituting therefor the ap- pointmint of any others whom the Gov- ernment may select. This is a return, in a sense, to the obnoxious "revising barrister" system which prevailed dar. ing the Conservative regime at Ottawa, and is the very reverse of what Mr. Borden is now demanding in the Domin- ion Parliament, that officials of this kind should always act as returning officers. -Brantford Expositor. The Peterboro Examiner says the Tory machine is being well greased these days. Bob'Birmingham, one of the old engin- eers of the machine, has been appointed Liver Complaint TOOK out for these symptoms of torpid liver and biliousness: Coated tongue, Bitter taste in the mouth, Attacks of headache, Fickle appetite and indigestion, Feelings of weight and oppression about the stomach, Pale, muddy complexion, Depressed spirits and irritable temper, Constipation and looseness of the bowels. The most satisfactory regulator of the liver is Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This well-known medicine has a direct and specific action on the liver, enlivening it in its work of filtering the blood and aiding digestion. Dr. Chase's I{idney-Liver Pills, one pill a dose, 25 cents s . box, at all dealers, or Edtnanson, I3ates & Co., Toronto. of a the Immigration in the ColDepartmenton of nch On- of the Immigration Department of On- tario, Mr. T, H, Leavitt, another or- ganizer, was appointed iuepeotor of public libraries in the E;Incation Depart. went. Captain Thompson was given a position as immigrant agent is Britain Mr. Philips reoeived an appointment in the Normal School, and finally Dr. Beattie Nesbitt, one of the principal machinists, was made registrar of West Toronto. E. S Eanwell, the clerk who stole $,40,000 from the Crown bank and then skipped out, was sentenced on Saturday by Judge Winchester, of Toronto. His seute nce is four years in Kiugston. Such a sentence for such a crime is a mere mockery. In the same court and on the same day, the same Judge sentenced a man named Charles McCrae to three years in Kingston for robbing a man on the highway, while drunk. He only stole a few dollars, and had a blind sister and a mother dependent upon him for support. This does not seem Iike jus- tice. But it is the old story, the bigger the steal the less the punishment. - Walkerton Telescope. If. instead of the province building the Temiskaming Railway, the usual plan of home -hag a private company had been followed, Ontario or the Dominion, sev- erally or jointly, would be out a couple of million dollars in bonuses of cash and land, with nothing to show for it except a railway over which neither Ontario nor the Dominion would have any prac- tical control. The interest lost on the value of such bonuses would be probably as large as the difference between the present net profit of the Temiskaming road and a fair dividend on what the road has cost the province And the province owns the road, with the cer- tainty of absolute coutrol of rates, and the probability of a bigger profit in the future. This strikes ns as a good busi• nese for the province. -Ottawa Jourual Made it Hot. Archie Hislop M. P. }' stirred up a hornet's nest in the House on Tuesday, and it occurred in a most innocent way. He proceeded to quote at length from the journals of the House and speeches of various members, and claming that the Conservatives had neglected to carry out the promises made in Opposition, in- stanced their failure to abolish the port. folio of agriculture. Mr. Whitney rose and stated vigor- ously that Mr. Hislop was making a de- liberate misstatement, which ho knew to be untrue. Mr. Ross said that Mr. Whitney's language was unparliamentary, and ad- vised the Premier to control himself. Mr. Whitney repeated that Mr. His- lop was endeavoring to wilfully deceive the House. Mr. Hislop made his point by quoting from journals of the House the resolu- tion, moved by Mr. Meredith and second- ed by Mr. Creighton, tor the striking out of the section appointing a minister of agriculture. Commenting on the incident, Gadsby, the clever gallery reporter of the Toron- to Star, says: - Will the past never be sealed with seven seals- seven stuffed seals, for choice, that can't tell anything? Why did Hislop of East Huron plunge into the dark backward and abysm of time and bring up the old grudges. Hislop did not do it of his own will -he was egged on. He is a Scot, and canny. If he had his own way he would let sleep- ing dogs lie -for sleeping doge do lie when the truth does not serve their pur- pose. What gives Hislop's words more weight is his rueful countenance. His mien is melancholy. He seems to be speaking mare in sadness than in anger. He le slow of tongue, too, and what he says has space to sink in. He got under Premier Whitney's skin a score of times. Wrathful interruptions came from that quarter with the regularity of a minute gun at sea. It was stormy weather all round. What nettled the premier was was the suspicion that somebody had supplied Hislop with these paper bullets to fire at him. In the rural districts they don't keep each close tab on the doings of stater - men that they can give day and date for this sentiment and that opinion uttered On such and such an occasion. If Mr. IHielop had this careful habit he was one in a thousand. When, under these cir- cumstances, a man comes at yon with clippings of what Meredith said in the early eighties and what the Mail printed in 1888, and the Empire published in 1893, it is a fair inference that he has been primed by somebody. Only Cabi- net Ministere keep these faithful scrap books, indexed by lynx -eyed secretaries up to the last minute. On whose treas- ures of memory was Hielop drawing? The Premier made no bones of it. He roundly accused the leader of the Op• position of abetting his follower from East Huron in an attempt to mieelead the House. Ross retorted that he was unparliamentary. The premier retorted that he didn't care. However, the Premier did not show to the hest advant- age in this little tilt. Anger never yet made good guard. Who loses his temp• er lessee his head with it. Yeast raises the bread, but the trust **ilea the price. TWENTY YEARS AGO (From Tun WINOHA3I TIMES of Friday, April 2nd, 1886.) LOCAL NAWS. This week Josephine street was sub- jected to a good scraping, and the road is now quits clear of mud and presents a tidy appearance for this season of the year. The friends of E. Kaake, photographer, will be sorry to learn that he is confined to his bed with a severe attack of inflam- mation of the luugs, which he oontraot- ed a couple of week ago. At the Conservative Convention for the East Riding of Huron. held at Brus- sels, on Tuesday, H. W. C. Meyer, Wm. Clegg and Win. Elliott, of this town, had the honor of being nominated to contest the Riding at the next election for the Local Legislature. They all de- clined, however. and Thos. E, Hayes, of McKillop, was selected. On Tuesday morning Hamilton Buch- anan, broker, of this town, was married to Mies Dorotha A Wray, only daughter of Wm. Wray, reeve of Morris town- ship. The ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. Wray, in Morrie, in the presence of the immediate friends of the contraotiug parties. Wm Cornyu, of this town has pur- ahashed the farm of G. Forgie, lot 21, con 8, Turnberry, the price paid being $6,500. The roller skating rink is now being run by Wm Holmes, blacksmith, who will open it only on Monday and Satur- day eveuings during the warm season. The farm of John Foster, near Zet- land, has been rented to Jae Watson, who has procured a number of firet•clase cows and purposes going extensively in- to the milk business. At the Ontario Veterinary College ex- amination, held in Toronto last week, Thos. C MoCasey, formerly of this town, successfully passed his final ex- aminaton with honors. MARRIED. Buchanan -Wray -At the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev. N. S. Bnrwaeh, Hamilton Buchanan, of Wing - ham, to Mies Dorotha Annie, only daughter of Wm. Wray, reeve of the township of Morris, A TORONTO MAIN TRIES SOMETHING NEW AND IS DELIGHT- ED, FEELS LIKE A BOY. Mr. M. N. Dafoe, Manager The Dust- less Brnsh Co„ 29 Colborne St., Tor- onto, is telling his friends how he found health after years of illnees azid pain. He says: "I have been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia for many years. I have been treated by local doc- tors and have taken nearly all the adver- tised remedies with only temporary relief, if any at all, but eince using Anti -Pill I can eat anything the same as when a boy. 1 have been taking one Anti -Pill at bed -time for the past three months, and find they regu- late both stomach and bowels. My old time vigor has returned, so that my spirits are buoyant andtemper normal. As a result of this =hoped for experi- once I am in duty bound to give all credit to this wonderful remedy, Anti - Pill." Every druggist sells Dr. Leonhardt's Anti -Pill, or a sample will be sent free by the Wileeon-Fyle Co., Limited, Niag- ara Falls, Ont. The remedy that cured Mr. Defoe so completely is surely worth a trial, A MATTER OF VALUES. Economy I4 so important a subject that the mathematical housekeeper will doubtless find it edification and profit to consider the following from Puck :- If a house wife twists in one hour and fifteen minutes ninety-three "lamp -light- ers," when one thonsand two hundred and fifty matches can he bought for five cents, at what rate per hour does she value her time, assuming the worth of the paper to be zero? If the aforesaid woman will take viz stepe across a room and six returning, each step being twenty-two inches, to save one match, how far should she con• sietently walk to save five cente carfare? If a man can draw from boards in fifty minutes, seventy -Dight nails of a certain size, what wages world he be earning per hour, nails being worth four cents per pound, and there being one hundred of this size in a pound?. In a certain climate, underwear at a price of four dollars per winter will as - erre against colds.

L, SOME FAMOUS KISSES* LADIES WHO GAVE FAVORS THAT BECAME HISTORIC. The Most Effective Were Those of the Duchess of Gordon, Who Raised a Thousand Men With a Thousand, Guineas and a Thousand Kisses "Good Queen Bess" Gives Fatrtou's Kiss -Queen Victoria's Peace Kiss. No more celebrated kiss was ever given than that bestowed on Nov. 22, 1681, in the gallery of Greenwich Pal- ace by Queen Elizabeth upon the Due d'Alencon, one of the suitors for her hand, whom, in the presence of Wals- ingham and Leicester, says Tit -Bits, she kissed upon his coarse lips and, placing her ring upon his finger, pre- sented to her courtiers as their future master, With true sincerity did another Eng- lish Queen grant a like favor, though' the kiss given was but that of friend- ship and esteem. It was at the con- clusion of the Crimean war, when France and our country being, as at present, on the best of terms, Queen Victor.a paid a visit to Paris. Her meeting -with her ally, Napoleon in, was of the most cordial description, and the Queen reached every heart when, throwing ceremonial to the winds, site touched with her lips the Emperor's cheek, with that Kiss doing more to ce- ment the good -will between the two countries than any amount of formal courtesy would have effected. Every one )las heard -of the famous kiss bestowed upon a butcher by Geor- giana, Duchess of Devonshire. In 1784 Fox was contesting Westminster in the Whig interest, among his keenest sup- porters being the beautiful duchess, who entered heart and soul into the spirit •-f the election, gaining many a Vote for her protege by her golden speech and sparkling eyes. One man, however, a butcher, remained imper- vious to her wiles; neither beseeching giant a nor persuasive word could move him. But the duchess was reso- lute on gaining her end; she offered a kiss for the man's vote. Such a bribe was irresistible, The efficacy of a fair woman's Liss was incontestably proved when, in 1794, the famous Gordon Highlanders were raised by the lovely Duchess of Gor- don, who was directly instrumental in gaining a thousand recruits by the do- nation of a guinea and a kiss apiece. In a sense, many of these kisses may be said to have been fatal, fur in an encounter with the French shortly af- terward more than 250 were either killed or wounded. Alain Chortler, the French poet, is the hero of a romantic legend. One day he sat down in a public place, and, being weary and exhausted by the heat of the day, fell into a slumber. As he slept, Margaret of Scotland, the wife of the Daulpin, afterwards known in history as Louis XI., chanced to pass with her attendants. She glanced at the unconscious man and recognized in him the poet whose verses she so lov- ed. Then, mentioning to her maids to be still, she gently stepped forward, and, stooping, imprinted a kiss on tiie sleeping poet's lips, Pretty, too, is the story of Ingeborg, Vinding and the poor student, Paul' Vendelbo, The latter, whose empty purse was a sad trammel to his ardor after knowledge, was promised by two noblemen a foreign tour, conditional on his being able to obtain a kiss from the fair Ingeborg. Nothing despairing, Vendelbo one morning approached the lady as she was seated at a window and boldly made confession of his hard cage. Ingebor•g heard in silence, then bent down her proud head and in lov- ing charity gave him a kiss. At times, however, a kiss has been the prelude to a tragic sequel, as was that bestowed in 1718 by Prince Fer- dinand of Bavaria upon Princess Thy- ra, the near relative of a ruler of a neighboring state, where he was on t8 visit. '.Phis affectionate greeting, a heedless whin of the moment, was given under the very- eyes of the prin- cess' betrothed, who, naturally taking umbrage, soundly rated the thoughtless prince. Words came to blows, which resulted in a duel being. arranged, and diplomatic relations between the two states were broken off. In the war that followed, although hostilities last- ed but six weeks, over a thousand lives 'were sacrificed. A Useful Indian Tree. In northern India, close to the foot of the Himalayas, grows the mahwa tree. Sugar le made from its flowers, as well as a cordial, and the tree proves itself useful in other ways. As a nut -bearing tree it has been known for many ages. It belong, to the sa- potaceae (star apple) family. Its bloom- ing period lasts from the end Of Feb- ruary till April. Quickly after the pol- len is formed the whitish tubular flow- ers swell to balls about as 1aoge as cherries, which contain a large il.mount of invert sugar (honey). The flower tubes fall, covering the ground in the greatest profusion. They are eagerly gathered by the natives, and eaten. A tree yields from 200 to 300 pounds of flowers.
