feWoLl.KN TIIUK1 TIMES THE KAl KAL SIZE THE Sl F-KEKKR IN BED FOR A YEAH AND A HALF.From the Keho h’iarton, Ont Mrs.Wm.Thew, who is well known in the town of Wisrton, was a sufferer from heart trouble aud articular rheumatism for a period of fifteen years.Lately her condition has m> much improved that a reporter of the Itcho called tq on her to asiertain to what cause the change was due.Mrs.Thew, while not courting publicity, consented to give a brief state-of her chko in hope that some other sufferer might be benefit ted.She said —“My joints were all swollen up to three times their natural size and for a year and a half I was unable to leave my bed.1 secured medical treatment and the doctors told me 1 would never he able to walk again.I took medicine they prescribed, hut it failed to give any relief.I took patent medicines but they did not help me.Having noticed an advertisement in a paper for Dr.Williams’ Pink Pill, I concluded to give them a trial and they gave me relief from the time I commenced using them about the first of January last.1 have taken ten l>oxe8.I am now able to go around without assistance and do all my housework.” Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills cure by going to the root of disease.They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from tho system.Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full trade mark.Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.THE NAVIES OF THE WORLD.A British parliamentary paper gives the comparative strength of the principal navies of the world.According to this authority England possesses 62 battleships, 18 armoured cruisers, 96 protected cruisers, 62 torpedo boat destroyers, and 98 torpedo boats, and is building 12 line-of- battle shins, 7 armored cruisers, 24 protected cruisers and 46 torpedo boat destroyers, and 38 torpedo boats on the stocks.Russia lias 17 lioe-of battle ships, 10armoured cruisers, and J74 torpedo boats, 6 battleships and 28 torpedo Isiat destroyers now building.These figures apparently give England a comfortable preponderence.But Lord Charles Berrsford and other critics point out that fifteen of the English battleships were launched before 1876,and are therefore comparatively obsolete while most of the ships launched befere 1880 still carry muzzle-loading guns.Lord Charl» s has been insisting in and out of season, for many long month, upon the necessity of replacing these old guns with modern breech-loaders, and has now got tho ear of the public, not of the Admiralty.WEAK HEART.“For years 1 suffered from weak action of the heart, dizziness and a watery condition of the blood.Mill urn’s Heart and Nerve Pills have made my heart strong and enriched my blo( d so that now I am free from the troubles that formerly distressed me.’’ B.A.Ross, Ailso Craig, Ont.2w46.MEETING OF QUEBEC EXECUTIVE OF DOMINION ALLIANCE.All the uncertainty regarding the taking of the plebiscite question is gone.The issue is clear and distinct.The temperance people realize that a very serious contest is before them, requiring the most careful planning and earnest effort.The difficulties in tho Province of Quebec are recognized as greater than in any other province.There is, however, a strong determination among the workers here to secure the largest possible vote for phohibition in the old historic province.The Dominion Alliance Provincial Executive met last Wednesday in Montreal to consider important matters relating to the campaign.The plans for the city organization are complete, and meetings will be held in the various city parliamentary divisions, beginning next week.The county organization will be proceeded with also.Ar-genteul County prohibitionists have arranged to hold a grand rally and picnic on Dominion Day at Lachute.A similar demonstration will be held on Dominion Lay at Inverness for Megantic Crunty.St an stead, Compton, Brome, Shefford and Missisquoi will hold county rallies during the next few weeks.Heart Spasms DR.AGNEWS CURE FOR THE HEART A WONDERFUL LIFE-SAVER.No organ in the human anatomy to-day whose diseases can be more readily de terted than those of the heart—and medical discovery has made them amenable to proper treatment.If you have palpitation or fluttering, shortness of breath, weak or irregular pulse, swelling of feet or ankles, pain iu the left side, fainting spells, dropsical tendency, any of these Indicate heart dls-eass No matter of how long standing Dr.Affnew's Cure for the Heart will cure—It’s a Heart specific—acts quickly —acts

the fact that some of the larger universities are now making compulsory only the amount of Greek grammar necessary for matriculation.A general dropping of Greek would be, indeed, calamity from the point of view of intellectual culture, hut it is hardly possible.Its importance to the student of philosophy or religion and to the general scholar is too manifest.But wo do not fully agree with Principal Adams as to its itn portance to the science students.The youth who has gone through grammar school, high school or academy, is bound to have made acquaintance with a sutH oient number of Greek “roots’ to follow the Greek derived terminology of the various sciences ; while on the other hand it is of vastly greater importance that he should have a thorough knowledge of German, in which language the results the best scientific work are continually appearing, and in which the best text books, in many of the sciences, are pub lished.But in the ordinary arts course, as at present constituted, there is not room f«>r both a very good knowledge of German and a good knowledge of Greek.It, therefore,seems only fair and reasonable that the science student, who has to economize the time of his arts course, should have the option of taking German instead of Greek if ho so desires.And, after all, how many working scientists, who have had the necessary training, can afford the time for keeping up their knowledge of Greek literature, or of increasing it.The specialist in science should, indeed, turn to literature for relaxation, and the interdependence of the sciences compels him to an interest in other branches of sciences than that with which is directly connected.But has the working sçientist time for much more than a study of the literature of his own language?Or, what is more pertinent still to ask, “is not ac quaintance with the literature of one’s own language and, say, that of another modern language, fairly adequate for the purposes of culture ?” At the same time we are far from wishing to dispute the just claims of Greek for other professions or its ineffable charms to the true student of language We simply contend that the science stu dent taking a preparatory arts course should bo allowed to escape Greek, taking German and French instead, just as the theological student may be allowed to escape, let us say, the “long learned names of agaric, moss and fern” for the sake of Hebrew.CRYING SCANDAL.the the The Richmond Guardian took up cymbals last week to beat a tune to cry of scandal against the Dominion Government.The effect, however, is rather tame upon those who remember the at titude of the Guardian before the elections of 1896.It was then admitted by our contemporary that corruption existed in the Conservative party, but it was contended that this did not matter.Both parties were corrupt ; both parties were always ready to accuse each other, rightly or wrongly, of corruption.If the Liber als got into power it would be in fact good policy for the Conservatives to at once cast reflections upon every action of the Government and be “censorious” upon every occasion.But sensible men would be unmoved by the cries, from the one side or the other, accepting and acknowledging the weakness of human nature, for they would judge the parties rather by the fruits of their policy.Such, in brief, was the Guardian's philosophy before the elections of 18!*6.Now, however, our contemporary steadily ignor the manifest results which have followed the trade policy of the Laurier Government,both in the line of manufacturing and agriculture, and joins in with the Mail'Empire in all of its foolish cries of scandal—with the exception of the Drummond County Railway one.Really, for a journal that professes anxiety for more thoughtfulness in the press the Guardian should give us something better than “cauld Kail het again.” The|British Enr pire, and Canada as a part of the Empire, is entering upon a new era of remarkable possibilities.Canadians must be prepared to enter upon new and grander responsibilities in the spirit of free and large minded men.We must strike a higher note in politics.We must leave behind the Mail-Empire with its petty scurrility.And the Guardian, let us add, is capable of taking the higher ground, if it will, on the side of progress, peace and prosperity ed.The advantages being derived from that denunciation far outweigh any injury that Germany can inflict by her present action.The path of freer trade is, and will be, naturally beset by difficulties of this kind, but they are not'comparable to the far greater diffl mlties that beset the policy of increasing restriction, directly and indirectly.Within a very brief time now, the twenty-five per cent reduction upon British goods will come into force and as the twelve and a half per cent reduction resulted in a great increase of inward and outward trade we can look for still greater developments during the coming fiscal year.There is no need to worry about Germany.As Germany's action in socially excluding Canada from the operation of its favored nation’s clauses will not materially hurt this country, we can accept the little attention as a complimentary acknowledgement of Canada’s power in having the German and Belgian treaties denounc Farmer’s Pic-Nic at Len-noxville a Great Success.The directors of the Sherbrooke and Lennoxville Ploughman’s Association are to be congratulated cn the success which attended their first annual pic nic.Of course the all important feature for the celebrating of such an event is good weather, and although the clerk of this department has not had the best of reputation for giving good weather to parades and such like, this season, still he evidently took upon himself to be generous in this respect to the farmers in Lennox-ville and the surrounding district.It did appear in the foren >on, and just about the tune people were expected to gather, that rain would come down, but the sun shone out later on and kept that way until the proceedings were all over.Selecting a rendezvous for a pic-nic is not an easy matter, but we don't think that the Executive could have found a more pleasant spot than Mr.Clough’s grove Situated off the main road it was in a manner exclusive, and from the different knolls from out the clump of trots a splendid view of the surrounding hills and dales were seen to the best advantage Dotted here and there through the large grove, and sheltered from the fiery bursts of old Sol’s rays, were litt.e parties who had combined for the day to partake of each others sweet things.The scene was a most picturesque one, and one and all, young and old, had a right jolly time.Friends foregathered and the male heads of the families while enjoying the pipe of peace discussed the state of the crops, and how this and that part of farming was done.In fact it was a day of not only relaxation after the heavy work of the spring, but the views of this one and that one when pieced together will no doubt be found of use hereafter.The object which the Executive of the Association aimed at, was this interchange of opinion and intercourse, and certainly that goal was attained.Let us hope that such a day as yesterday is only the first of many annual events.As the President, Mr.Morris, put it, although the farmers met once a year to do battle with each other in the matter of ploughing, still they th ught that it was only but proper that the ladies should have an opportunity to meet together also.To Mr John McIntosh belongs the idea, said the president, of bringing about the pic-nic, and he was ably backed by the other officials.By twelve o’clock some five hundred people had assembled from the surrounding district, and up to two o’clock, the time when the speaking began, this had boon augmented by about a couple of hundred more.The grounds were free from the small truck man, but the re freshmenta were in the able hands of representatives of the Lodge of King’s Daugh ters of Lennoxville.Those who looked after the wants of the inner man at the Booth were Mrs.(Rev.) Scarth, Mrs Speid, Miss Henry, Miss Hawes, Miss McCulloch, Miss McFadden, Mrs.Ster ling and Mrs.Wiggett.Down in a cosy nook, a table in the open, loaded with good things, and nicely decorated, was laid out for the directors and guests.The ladies who had charge of this certainly deserve a word of praise for the lavish manner with which they furnished the good things.The company who enjoyed this repast were : Messrs.Win.Morris, (president,) W.B.Ives M.P.; L.E.Panneton, M.L.A.; S.L.Clough, John Ewing, Richmond ; Sheritf McIntosh, S.Burrill, W.H.Abbott, J Shuter, T.B.Johnston, J.Bradley, VV.A Hale, C.White, Fitzgerald, Rev Mr.Read, W.W.Baker, Wm.Dundin, W.H.Green,T.Ward, Waterville, Lawson and Ingham.After ample justice had been done the good things a vote of thanks was awarded the ladies by Mr.Panneton, and Mr.Ives, seconded.The ladies were Mrs.W.H.Abbott, Miss Burrill, Miss McIntosh, Miss Green and Miss Bradley.An adjouri ment was afterwards made to a stand that had been erected, and from which speeches were delivered.On the platform were :—Mr.W.B.Ives, M.P.; Mr.L.E.Panneton,M.L.A.; Mr A.H.Moore, M.P.for Stanstead ; Mr.S.Foster, Knowlton ; Mr.Wm Moms Sheritf McIntosh, Mr.Galbraith, Rev! Mr.Scarth Rev.Mr.Read, II.R.Fraser, manager K T.Agricultural Ass n ; W, A.Hale and John Ewing, Richmond.After a few remarks by the chairman (Mr.Wm.Morris), Mr.John Ewing was •ailed upon to say a few words.He dwelt at some length on the fact that the younger generation were not paying the attention to agricultural affairs which they should.He maintained that it was a noble profession, and one which was of a nature to give scope to the brightest of intellects.He pressed upon the fathers to have their sons interest centred on the working of the soil, for the days of working the farm by muscle alone were past, and it had now become a scientific pursuit They would do much for their country if they centred their life’s work on the tilling of the soil, and were known only to their immediate neighborhood, more than the man who went out into the world and speculated and transferred the money of another to his own use.Farming pursuits were different to day to what they were 50 years ago, and the f ithers should encourage tne eons in the irking of the farm on the principles that are in vogue to-day, by listening and carrying them out.(Applause.) Mr.A.H.Moore said that it afforded him great pleasure to l>e with them on this pleasant and festive occasion.He was very glad indeed to meet so many of the farmers and farmers wives and daughters, and show his interest in one of the most important industries that we have in this or any other country.At the same time he felt a little diffident at appearing before them at this time.He was very glad to eee the interest taken in the agncultural industry in this portion of the Eastern Townships, as was evidenced the large attendance there that day.e felt very much like the late Mr.Wil- < by lard, the celebrated agriculturist, who, when asked what kind of fairs he would recommend most, replied that the “beat fairs were farmers wives and daughters.” Fairs of this kind were very desirable, very pleasant and very agreeable.They had already heard that the farming industry of this country was a very important one.He was not going into the details of the farmer’s life, but he would show how important a calling it was.One quarter of the fre’ght carried on railways, one-third on canals, and one-half on steamboats were agricultural products ; while 45 per c* nt.of the population of Canada was interested and engaged in agriculrural pursuits.They would agree with him that this industry would not take a second place in the industries of the country.Supposing that they took the amount of food for each person in the world at the same ratio as is laid down by the army authorities, and give each one a meal.In the first place it would require 312,000 miies of tables, giving two feet to each person.This would reach around the earth 13 times.It would require 2,250, 000 tons of mixed food for one day., and 750.000 tons for one meal.Of this 34,-276 tons of butter, 68,493 tons of meat, 17,123 tons of cheese, 68,393 tons of potatoes would be consumed, and it would require 16,433,353 gallons of milk for one day's supply.For one year it has been computed that each one consumes 5 2-10 bushels of wheat a year, which would make a total of 7,8®«®®c:i£, 99 Wellington Street, Sherbrooke.PUBLIC NOTICE! ¦PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE- ¦OF THE- Eastern Townships Clothing* House-^ç> WILL START ON Saturday, June And will continue for two months.The reason of having our Annual Sweeping Sale a* early as this is because we manufactured very heavy this season and to give a chance to our customers, snd the general public, for IN THE LATEST PATTERNS AND LATEST STYLES.Great Bargains We don't offer yon cheap good- »t ctipup prices, but Rood Good, at Lowest Price.on.Clothing i.Ktrictlr manufactured by u«.and god.guaranteed.Save your dollati ^Tit h ?old .aytng If you dont open your eye* you will open your pocket."

JI RE^miSCBJiCE OF ITJiLY.Some years since it was my good fortune to visit Italy, aud in the course of my wanderings in the land of sunny skies aud rich historical associations, to find myself in Milan, and among iU many varied attractions, to inspect its grand and far famed cathedral, world-renowned for its beautiful architectural finish and proportions.What a miracle in marble it is, what a wonder ; so graceful, so sol* emu, so vast, so grand, majestic and fairy-like.So delicate with carvings of birds, bt&sts, fruits and insecU.500 feet long, 180 feet wide, adorned with Idfi spires, the principal spire being 400 feet high.Theie are 7,148 statues, the work of such sculptors as Raphael and Michael Angelo grace the sacred temple.Every nook aud corner is filled with statues ; those loeated on the roof look like dolls when viewed from the street.The building is decorated with 1500 carvings in marble, wondrous to minutely inspect.The interior is beautiful, rich in mosaics, stained glass widows, shrines of the saints, oil paintings, marvellously chiselled tombs, a roof frescoed as to look like lace, supported by 52 columns, each twelve feet in diameter ; four side aisles and rows of arches greet the eye of the visitor.From the roof an entrancing view is obtained of the city ; its main buildings, domes, steeples, cupolas, the chief avenues and thoroughfares ; the surrounding country, bordered by the Alps, down which trickle streams looking like threads of silver, and lovely vineyards greet the eyes.When once up on the roof the visitor finds himself in a very forest of marble pinnacles, adorned with richly and rarely carved flowers, capped by graceful statues, the petals of each floral design perfect.The roof is separated into divisions, by what, for a better name 1 will designate marble fences, these ornatne ited with wreaths, stars, wheels, and other fanciful designs.Gazing through these apertures upon the background of blue skies and fleecy clouds, stone seems transformed into laca, hanging between you and the blue vault of heaven.Truly a thing of beauty is a joy forever.In the crypt is the sacrophagus of St.Charles Borromee, once Bishop of Milan.The sacrophagus or mausoleum is of wrought silver, charming flowers in that precious metal beautify its exterior features.Within is a cottin, clear as crystal, of rock crystal, inside of winch is to be seen the body of the deceased prelate, dressed in priestly, costly habiliments, decked with rare jewels, the head decaying with age, the eyes gone, the lips parted with a ghost-like smile, the skin drawn tightly.The good man, in thed*ys when the plague swept over the city, played the hero by staying at his post, — when others fled—encouraging and comforting all who came in contact with his true and sympathetic heart.No wonder the Milanese highly esteem his memory, and have evinced their gratitude by awarding him so rare a tomb Work on the cathedral has been going on tor the past 500 years, and is progressing still.One of the sights of Milan U Leonder di de Vincis familiar painting of the Last Supper of our L ird, the model of the majority of the engravings of that great event in the worlds history, with which we are so familiar.It is a fresco covering the rear wall of the church.The moment chosen by the artists is when Christ annnounces his knowledge of the fact, that one of the number will betray Him.Lojk at the anger of Peter, the the looks of incredulity and inquiry on the faces of the other disciples ; the simulated calmness of Judas ; the serenity and calmness of the Master.Another strange sight in this cathedral town is a statue of St.Bartholomew, who enjoys the reputation of having been flayed.His skin hangs behind him like a cloak ; a stronger idea in marble or a more perfect study of anatomy could not well be seen elsewhere.The city possesses a fine marble arch in commemoration of the victories of Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi ; conflicts which resulted providentially in freeing Italy from the thraldom of Rome.Here is also found the finest arcade which it has been my privilege to inspect ; a noble stone edifice, pierced by four grand lofty entrance arches.The floor is in marble of varied hues ; the structure is capped or surmounted with a lofty, elegantly designed dome ; the inferior rich in stained glass, and ornately designed mouldings m plaster ; an abundance of leaf decorations, etc.Shops with spacious plate glass windows are found in the main pre cincts of the building, their show-cases filled with tempting articles of merchandise, such as jewelery, corals, bronzes, mosaics, Parisian marbles, oil paintings, pilgrim work and other articles of devotion, most tempting to the purse and attractive to the eye.What a magnificent railway station this city boasts possession of ; architecture imposing ; beauteous frescoes on the ceiling, making the traveller imagine himself in an art gallery.J.Burt Suthemand.NEW LIFE FOR TREES.A Hew T«rk Farm***» Fias F*r la« Bark — Frail Traaa.?oorrespondant write* from Onondaga ooanty, N.Y., to The Hand Naw Yorker as follows: Back la tha fifties I riaited a large orchard la the Iowa of Olay, this ooanty, and was surprised to find the trees, although they were very old, loaded with the finest of fruit of various kinds, nearly ripe for picking.The owner stated that five years before the trees, being very old, were nearly valueless, bat by a new treatment the whole orchard had been restored to the then present condition of the most perfect fruitage.I found his treatment to consist in sack year in removing three strips of old bark from the body of the tree, each strip about three inches in width, the most essential point being the right time of doing it This time he found to be when the bark would peel easiest, and being when the materials for forming the new grain of wood were in a condition of a soft pulp under the bark.He had removed the strips June 15 to 20.During the remainder of the season the grooves made by removing the strip of bark were filled with new bark, the hidebound condition ofi the tree was relieved, and the new grain of wood was doubled in thickness entirely around the tree.This permitted the sap to flow freely, and the first autumn the fruit was greatly improved.The next season it was large and of the most perfect quality.The stripping had been continued five years, the old bark had all been replaced by a new and tender bark, and the farmer said that his orchard paid better than any other part of his farm.Spitzenberg trees aud other kinds wore restored to the finest fruitage.The tree body should be scraped with a hoo to remove the loose bits of hard bark.Then with a sharp, strong knife make two cuts for each strip through the bark from the top of the body down to the ground, holding the knife a little slanting, sons to make the inner surface of the strip narrower than the outer to facilitate its removal.Lot the cuts run together at the ends.They may be extended out upon the large limbs as far as they can be reached.From the upper end of each strip extend single knife cuts through the bark so far as the old bark is rough and hard.Temporary Fencing:.The zigzag plan of building temporary board fences is recommended by a correspondent of Home and Farm, who says: If the boards aro 16 feet long, «et the posts 7^| feet apart aud in a straight line.Put the boards on as shown in sketch, nailing one panel on one side of the post and the next one on the other, with the post in the center of -HEADQUARTERS FOR- The largest city of the world is London, lying in four counties, and having a population of 4,250,000, equalling the combined population of Paris, Berlin, St.Petersburg and Rome.FIELD, GARDEN, FLOWER.What is Scott’s Emulsion?AGENTS FOR THE- CELEBRATED PACIFIC GUANO.Phosphate, Land Plaster.Jobbers in Barrel Churns, Blanchard Churns, Butter Moulds, Butter Workers, Tin Pans, Pails, etc , Galvanized and plain Barb Wire, Smooth Wire, Woven Vire, Fencing, etc., and all kind Farmers Tools.Ask us for prices.Codere, Sons & Co., 1(51 'Wellington Street.P S.—MAIL ORDERS CAREFULLY EXECUTED.Union Granite & Marble Works, Thcmpson & Hamby, Props.Why not pave money bv RetUngour prices on your Marble and GranUe work.We handle all the popular Marble in this country beside* Imported Italian Marble.From Carrara.Italy, and every kind of Granite known to the trade Our Shop is equipped with the latest improved steam Polishing Machinery which enable- us of quote the lowest possible price on poli-hed work We guarantee satisfaction.Baldwin 8t.COATICOOK BREAD !

season is in the early spring months, when it first com-mouoes to grow aud before many of the leaves have spread over the surface of the water, but some have had great success in cultivating it in boxes.Though it is usually found in water, it grows fairly well out of it, aud a box of water cress growing in a comparatively shady place is devoid of a hot, peppery character, which, even when the plant is grown in water, it sometimes acquires.—Meehan’s Monthly.Thinning Ont VoffttablAA.Beets, turnips, carrots, salsify, parsnips and such things should be thinned out as soon as the plants are large enough to handle.If left to' attain size, the thinning operation will prove hurtful to the plants that are left through being loosened and disturbed.Frequent stirrings with the hoe, besides keeping down the weeds, help to retain the moisture in the soil and thus materially assist in promoting more vigorous growth.—American Gardening.Agricultural Brevities.Bo far as soil and climate are concerned, it soems bo be settled that New York state is well adapted to the commercial growing of sugar beets.A western New York horticulturist who has sprayed his orchards as many as five times in a season expresses the opinion that, commercially speaking, it does not pay to spray more than three times—first, when the buds l>egin to swell ; second, just after the blossoms have fallen, and third, when the fruit is about pea size.The Horticultural society of Vermont has recommended the Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, Fameuse and Northern Spy as the best apples for market in that state.Rural New Yorker says sawdust and shavings contain considerable acid and should not be used fresh as manure.When well mixed and wet in the manure pile, the acid is neutralized by the ammonia, aud when this has happened no harm will result from their use.Now is the time to keep the hoe busy in the garden.No weeds and a well stirred soil that will conserve moisture point to suooqm.Whenever the Queen arpears

South American Nervine is a powerful nerve builder and makes rich, red, healthy blood.We lire by nervou* force, and if there Is derangement at the seat of good health, the whole physical organization suffers—two-thirds of all ailments common to hurqanity can be traced to sick nerves.Naturally the weakest part is the one attacked, and In cases whose number is legion the trouble begins In the stomach—and ends too often in physical and mental ruin—sluggish circulation, Impure blood, axhaustion, emaciation, loss of appetite, Insomnia, general debility and wasting diseases—all for lack of replenishing an overworked system.South American Nervine is the greatest of all nerve foods—purifies the blood, clears the system of all impurities,tones and strengthens the digestive organs»—a wonderful remedy In cases of female weakness and functional derangements peculiar to her sex —truly a good health angel to womankind.Mrs.Geo.Schlee, of Berlin, Ont, says: MI always felt weak and tired ; at night I could not rest on account of nervousness ; my body became wasted almost to a skeleton.Doctors claimed it to be womb trouble, and desired to perform an operation.I tried South American Nervine.The first bottle gave me great relief.I took eight bottles and am cured completely.M SOUTH AMERICAN KIDNEY CURI-diMoJres tbs .oim matt** wtioh ciof «nd Impede the n* tarai sad beslftby work
