IN CURING A COLD
IS DANGEROUS.
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.
Refine substitutes. Demand Dr. Wood's and
get it.

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.

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.

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. -

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.

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. Assuming that un-
derwear costing one dollar per season
will lead to two vieltt from the doctor at
one dollar and fifty cents each, what is
the (saving by the purohaee of the cheap-
er materiwi?

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.
Rice is usually mixed with the fruit
before it is eaten. The dried flowers
have very much the taste and appear-
ance of raisins. They are exported to
Europe as curiosities, and are also
used as food for animals. Distillation
yields a large percentage of spirits,
which, diluted with water-, makes "da -
Vu," a native drink very much used. It
comes on the market in oilken barrels,
and is highly esteemed by P4uropeans.
Besides the flowers the seed is of
considerable use. They contain a fat
of butter -like consistency, which serves
as a foodstuff. It is called "niowra"
and the crude stuff is known as "Illipe,"
and is used by the Europeans largely
for making candles, soaps and the like.
I
The wood is very hard and lasting, and
is much used for making wheels of the'
native bullock carts.
