TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SUCCESSFUL RECORD MONEY can buy advertising space, but it can't buy a MONEY century's successful record of wonderful and almost miraculous cures of the most difficult and intricate cases of throat, ;;ing and stomach troubles. Such is Psychine's record. Thousands of eases given up by leading doctors as hopeless and incurable have been quickly and per- manently cured by Psychine. It is an infallible remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, consumption, indigestion, loss of appetite and all wasting diseases. "IIy son had a terrible cough and was wasted to a shadow. Doctors said ho could not live. He used Psy. chine, it cured him," -Mrs. J. Rang' er Brockville. 1i After taking ?AA worth of Psy- chine my lungs are well and life is again worth living." -Mfrs.

Naturally this nettled the sheriff: and •the judges, and they offered $300 re- ward for the murderous farmer. "Say," said McGann to the sheriff, "will yon give me that reward if I get him?' "Yes," the sheriff replied, and McGann rode out to the hiding place of his client. The farmer came up, and McGann 'hot him, took the body back to town 'd demanded the reward. "How t this, McGann?" asked another wyer. "Do you think it is in accord- tanee with the ethics of the legal pro- (fessiou to- titre advantage of your ell - tent in that manner?'

'>The way in which blind horses can tgo about without getting into more {d'iffieulties than they ordinarily do is leery remarkable. They rarely, if ever, hit their beads against a. fence or stone plall. They will slide off when they roma near one., It appears from care- Ful areFul observation that it is neither shade nor shelter which warns them of the' ,danger. On an absolutely sunless and ' 'windless day their bebavior is the (same. Their olfactory nerves doubt- less become very sensitive, for, when dtriving them, they will poke their beads downward in search of water lfty yards before they come to a 'dream crossing the roadway. It can- not be an abnormally developed sense pf hearing which leads them to do this, for they will act alike, though the wa- ter be a stagnant pool. Men who have been blind for any great length of time lilevelap somewhat similar instincts to bind horses. _- i Unfortunate Omission. One of the most singular instances of ,ptmishment for an oversight was that ;shown by the commitment of an alma• !s►ac maker to the Bastille in 1717. It was made out by order of the Duke of !Orleans, regent during the minority or Louis V. of France, and read as fol - ;lows: "Laurence d'Henry, for disre- tspeet to King George I. in not mention - Ong him in his almanac as king of t'Great Britain." Hov1 long this nn- .* lineky almanac maker remained in pris- on is unlmown. The register of the Bastille, examined at the time of the tlevolutton, failed to throw any light oni pie subject. DR.

TI WINGHAM TIM, APRIL ] DIED IN HARNESS, Lieutenant -Governor Snowball's Use- ful and Honorable Career. Hon, Jabez Bunting Snowball, Lieutenant -Governor of New Bruns- wick who dropped dead last week m Fredericton while on his way to at- tend service in the Cathedral, had had a long and useful career in Can- ada. He had not been vory well for more than a year, but was able to attend his public duties. He opened the session of the Legislature on Feb- ruary 14, and had since been daily at his office in the Parliament Buildings. On February 5 'last Hon. J. 11. Snowball completed his five-year term as Lieutenant -Governor of New Bruns- wick, but was still in the office when death came. He was born in Lunen - burg, Nova Sbotia, in 1837, his father being Rev. John. Snowball, a divine of the Methodist Church. After gradua- ting at Mount Allison Academy at Sae:wille, N. B., young Snowball took Excavations Reveal the Largest Mas- todon Ever Uncovered in Alaska. What is perhaps the largest masto- don ever uncovered completely in Alaska was uncovered during the last six months at a place near Circle City by Max L. Lohbrunner. The exact place of the location of the mas- todon is on Alice Creek, a tributary of Mineral Creek, which flows into Woodchopper Creek, To judge of the other dimensions of the animal it must only be said that one tusk of the mastodon which is still intact is over nine feet eight inches long, and has a circumference of eighteen inches. The jaws of the animal still have teeth four in num- ber in the jaw. Each of these teeth, which have been taken out and re- placed, weigh fifty pounds apiece. The other parts of the mastodon are in a poor state of preservation com- pared with the tusk, although the bones that have been collected weigh in the neighborhood of 1,000 pounds. Lohbrunner, who got the bones, dug them out at a depth of eighty feet below the surface of the ground. It took a great amount of care and pains on his part to see that the bones were not burned to charcoal while he was excavating and thawing the ground. Lohbrunner has moved part of the animal into storage at Circle City and will hold it there until the spring time, when it will be removed, to Seattle,. where it will be put togeher and eventually find its way into the Alaska -Yukon -Pacific Exposition, if the Smithsonian Institution does not get it before that time. In speaking of his find Lohbrunner said: "Alice Creek, where I found this mastodon, is perhaps one of the most wonderful on earth, from the standpoint of research. It seems to be the boneyard that a lot of the pre- historic animals made for in order to die dr to be killed. We have found on the creek the skeletons of masto- dons, mu.skox, caribou, bear, and other animals. If this creek ever goes into a hydraulic mining proposition the world will b' astounded with the many finds of bones of animals of prehistoric times." ALASKA'S GIC BEARS. 'ABSOLUTE SECURITY.

FOER TE COMPLEXION ION R'ods Purely Vegetabiit ^' ' The Largest Flesh Eating Animals in the World. Very fow persons really know that the largest flesh -eating animals in the world are found in America. Peo- ple generally believe that the African lion is the king cf beasts, but he is not nearly au large or as powerful an animal as the large brown bear of sub -Arctic Atnerica. The bears are not as ferocious or combative as the lions, nor are they nearly as vicious as they are givan credit for being, but the largest of them are much larger and more pow- erful than any of the lions. It is safe to say that the largest of the brown bears of the north would weigh three times as much as the largest speci- men of lion, and is beyond all ques- tion greatly superior in strength. If brought together in combat, the bear would at, first appear very clum- sy. It would not be capable of the quick rush or the catlike spring of the lion. It would not attack, but would re- main entirely on the defensive, meet- ing its adversary with blows of sushi rapidity and terrific force as at once to illustrate its superiority not only in strength, but in action. I do not believe that there is an animal in the world that can act more quickly or effectively or can aim its blows with greater certainty than the bear. The large brown bears of the Alaska peninsula, south of the Behring Sea, . are among the largest bears of the world, and it is evident that there is no part of the world outside of America in which such large flesh• eating animals are found. The bears are flesh -eaters, or carnivorous, yet depend of them that e dPe there are none upon flesh for food, and with most of them flesh comprises but a very small, percentage of their food.

Later he became interested in the fishing in- dustry, and the company, of which he was later president, now controls lobster factories along the whole Gulf coast. As a lumber operator he was probably at his bast. He owned the largest saw mill on the Miramichi river, and ranked second only to Alex- ander and manufacturer isnas andsr Gibson a exporter of lumber in New Bruns- wick. About four years .ago Mr. Snowball formed his business into a joint stock company, under the title of the J. B. Snowball Co., Ltd. His sons, William B. and Robert A. Snow- ball; are respectively, manager and outside manager of the company. Be- tween 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 feet of lumber are eut by the company each year. Mr. Snowball also assisted in the building of the Canada Eastern Railway, and the branch of the In- tereolonial to Chatham, and to the time of his death he controlled the latter branch. For some years Hon. Mr. Snowball sat in the Commons, and when he retired, in 1891,. was call- ed to the Senate, retiring in 1902, to accept the Lieutenant -Governorship. SUNDAY IN CANADA. What Our Neighbors Across the Bor. der Think of Us. The New York Times says of Can- ada's right to keep Sunday ,exactly as it chooses there is no doubt at all, and not much about its right also to make the day one of complete rest -and tedium -to such foreigners as venture into the territory ruled by that not recently mentioned but prob- ably still existent Lady of the Snows. Nevertheless, Canada's new Sunday law doth have a most ancient and archaic odor, and one cannot help wondering if it represents Canadian opinion to any great degree than did our own passage of a law abolishing the army canteen. Everybody who has ever been in Canada knows that people who believe in keeping, and especially in making others keep, Sunday with Scottish rigor are not rare there. People of that sort have somehow managed to survive in Canada in mucin greater numbers than in New England, for instance, where they were once the whole population. We question, how- ever, if they are anything like a ma- jority, and can only explain their success in bringing about this legis- lation on the theory that they have terrorized the Canadian politicians exactly as our prohibition ladies ter= rorized our Congressmen. The Pro- vince of Quebec, being equally con- servative in another way, has stuck to its own notions, and the result is that there the continental Sunday will be found with moss -grown Puritan- ism all around it. Oh, well, Canada is a great country, and its people are a fine people. They are good neighbors now, and they will be better neighbors when in name as well as in fact they decide to become a self-governing nation. The Climate of the West. In a recent issue of a Toronto pa- per, describing the death of some family from the cold in Saskatche- wan, there was a despatch from Port Hope, Ontario, telling of the freezing to death of brother and sister neat' that town. They had run short of fuel and the former was evidently unable to travel to ;the nearest village to se- cure the necessary supply. Harrow- ing tales are told of the losses of cat - tie in Southern Alberta. Would it have been possible for them to have kept alive if they had been left out in the fields of Ontario all winter to get their own food? The losses have occurred simply because the Albertan winter climate is so mild as an or- dinary thing that many did not take the precautions to guard against an exceptional year. -From the Edmon- ton Saturday News. Large or Small Cows. Largo cows are not always the most profitable. It costs more to keep largecows than small ones, and they don't always give enough extra milk to pay it back; but, generally speak- ing, large cows have more vitality than small ones, 'which hells them to make good use of food. Whether large or small, a row to be profitable must be healthy. -Farm fres*. CURE SICK HEADACI-1 Railways of Canada. The total number of miles of rail- way in operation in Canada in 190G is placed at 21,353, as compared with 20,487 for 1905. But seventy-four miles of iron rails now remain as a relic of former days. As indicative of the expansion in transportation facilities it may be pointed out that 3,071 mile of railway were under construction on June 30 last, as compared with 1,066 on the sante date of the preceding year, The total number of locomo• tives is placed at 2,931; first-elass cars, 1,289; second-class cars, 716; cattle and box cars, 61,929. The grand total of cars of all classes in use is 99,874. Of these 91,015 are fitted with automatic couplers and 85,616 with air brakes. Statistics of trnffic show 27,989,782 passengers carried last year, and 57,- 966,713 tons of freight. The number of passengers increased by over two and one-half million, and the number of tons of freight by over seven mil- lions, as compared with the preced- ing year. The total earnings of rail- ways for the last year were $125,322,- 865, as compared with $106,467,198 for 1905. The capital invested in Cana- dian railways has reached the large sum of $1,332,493,704. The records of fatal accidents last year shows a death list of 16 passengers, 139 employes and 206 others killed in various ways, a total of 361, as compared with 468 in 1905. Only one passenger in 1,749,361 was fatally injured. In respect to passenger stows traffic totalearn ngs earnings of $33,392,the 188, for a total train mileage of 28,071,648, giving earnings per mile of $1,189. Electric railways show a total mile- age at the enc! of June last of 813 miles. Ontario has 441 miles, and Quebec comes next with 198 miles. Net earnings for the year totalled $4,991,- 834. Twelve passengers were killed, as compared with 30 in 1905. 8 001 Alone In His Glory.

"We kick about our own govern. - Went," said a reformer, "and It is doubtless pretty bad, but what would we think if It took the taxpayers' mon- ey to pay every year a pension of $50,- 000 to the Goulds, another of $75,000 to the ,&stors and another still of $25,000 to the Vanderbilts? That is what goes on in England. The English doctor, the English druggist, the English car- penter, all sorts of hardworking Eng- lishmen, are taxed $200 or $300 a year, atid the money goes to pay the huge pension of some Glucal loafer who is already too rich. Charles II., for in- stance, granted an eternal pension of $05,000 a year to the Duke of Rich- mond and Gordon. In all the years since Charles II's time that pension has been paid out of the taxpayers' pockets. To this day it is paid. The present Duke of Richmond and Gordon settles for his dinners at the Ritz in London or at Ciro's in Monte Carlo with money earned by English butch- ers, bricklayers and blacksmiths." -Ex- change. The Lion's Mouth. The use of the lion's mouth as the vent of a fountain is so common that it cannot be regarded as accidental. As a matter of fact, the custom (like so many customs -not forgetting the foun- tain pen) came from Egypt, which adopted it because the annual inunda- tion of the Nile takes place when the nun is in the constellation Leo -the lion. The allusion is too obvious to need pointing out. The oldest fixed elate (4241 B. C.) can be traced. to Egypt, where the calendar was intro- duced in the middle of the forty-third century. And the history of modern shipbuilding began in Egypt, where it can be traced to about 3000 B. C. The most recent discoveries give to the land of Egypt a clean run of about 11,000 years without any admixture of foreign races. "Egypt, land of hidden mysteries, great mother of science and ' art, what thinking mind has not dream- ed of thee!" 'When Hoops Begun. When were hoops "in" for the first time? According to Strutt, "trundling the hoop is a pastime of uncertain or- igin, but much in fashion at present" (1801). Dr. Murray's dictionary, inci- dentally remarking that the original boop affected by boys was a -barrel hoop, gives no English reference to it earlier than 1702. But the hoop wan well known to ancient Greek and Ro- man boys, who called it a "trochus" (whegl). Their hoops were made of bronze, and representations of them on gems show that they were driven by a little hook with a wooden handle, very like the modern boy's hoop stick. This was called by the Greeks "Mater" (driver) and by the Romans "Gravis" (key). Sometimes the ancient !hoop had bells attached to it, and modern Lon- don may be glad to be spared at least that etasneration.-Lmulon chronicle. WeaK Kidneys Weak Kidneys. surely point to 'weak kidney Nerves. Tho Kidneys, like the Heart, and the Stomach, find their weakness, not in the organ Itself, but In the nerves that control and guide and strengthen them. Dr. Shoores Restointive is a medicine specifically prepared to reach these controlling nerves. To doctor the Kidneys alone, is futile. It is a waste of time, and of money as well. If your beck aches or is weak, if the urine sealds, or is dark and strong, if you have symptoms of Briglits or other distressing or dangerous kid- ney disease, try Dr. Shoop's Restorative a month - Tablets or Liquid -and see what it can and will do for you.

It happened at a bigdinner, PP where he bad taken in a pretty Amer- ican globe trotter, who asked him to pass a dish of almonds and raisins. "With pleasure," replied the gallant son of Mars, "but do you know that what you have asked for is called in the vernacular kissmiss and that the penalty of a kiss attaches to the re- quest?" "Is that so?" answered the woman calmly. "I must consult my husband," and she called across the table to him and told him of the request. "Quite so," he replied, "according to the custom of the country it is a just debt and must be paid, but is the gen- eral aware of the arrangement made when we married that I must settle all my wife's liabilities?" Submerged Aristocrats. Some curious letters are quoted by Mr. Percival Bickerstaffe the pedigree searcher, in an interview with a repre- sentative of the London Tribune. One runs: "I am a plumber and gasfiter out of work. My stnmmick Is empty, but in my art is the blud oc noble burth. * * * I claim the family title and tenements which I will not be denyed the same." A city clerk wrote: "I have long suspected that I am of high birth. People tell me that I have manners above my station of life. My photograph herewith. shows that I have an aristocratic cast of face and will perhaps be a clew to my ancestry. I do not ask for fortune, but I aspire to the pride of race." Beans to Separate Bones. Anatomists, when they wish to sep- arate the bones of a skull, sometimes resort to a very peculiar procedure. They fill the skull with small beans and place it in a vessel of water. The beans swell and rend the skull apart at the sutures. The well known Ger- man physiologist, Grehaut, measured the force which the beans are capable of exerting under these conditions and found that it indicated five atmos- pheres, equal to the average pressure in the boiler of a steam engine. Put on More Than the Saddle. .A. cookery teacher was giving a les- son to a class of children and ques- tioning them on the joints of mutton. The neck, shoulder, leg and loin had been mentioned. "Now," said the teacher, "there is another joint no one has mentioned. Come, Mary, I know your father is a groom; what does he often put on a horse?" "A. dollar each way, miss," was the unexpected answer. • 3 THERE'S MUCH TO And Nothing To Lose By Giving GREEN TEA One Single Trial.
