Paine's lîelery Ct nipraind as a HiuoJ Pupiii!*1 and Healdi Giver Ranks Firs' in Eveiy civilized Land.Professional men, members of parlia ment, bankers, business men, mechanics, and our farmers, after happy results and experiences with Paine’s Celery Compound, emphatically as-the great medicine has no rival.As a blood puririer, disease banisher and health giver, it has won the admiration and praise of those in position and affluence, ami people in humbler ciivuinstances have largely added to its extended reputation.The vast army •>( sick and weekly people restored to health and vigor by Paines Celery Compound have done more for the present world-wide sale of the great health-builder than all the press notices ever published.Under such happy auspices, the proprietors of Paine’s Celery Compound with full and honest confidence urge the use of this noblest and best of medicines at this present season.The Work of purifying the blood, clean sing the system, regulating the nerves, is an imperative one, and should not be delayed a moment if ailing people would have perfect health.M en and women distressed by headache, nervousness,.sleeplessness,dyspepsia, neuralgia, rheumatism and liver and kidney Complaint, cannot afford to treat their troubles with indifference.Serious and fatal results follow delays.This is the time for the taking on of new strength and true vitality, and Paine’s Celery Comp >und will never disappoint the sick and afflicted.The old motto of Paine’s Celery Com pouhd “Makes sick people well,” is as true to-day as it was years ago.THE SMOKKE S OK AIN CHEAT BRIT In 1841* inhabitants of Great Britain smoked on the average, exactly 1 pound of tobacco per head.Half a century l ater they haven’t quite doubled the amount, in spite of the number of small boys who can now lay claim to membership of the glorious army of smokers.In 18ÎI8 the consumption of the “weed’ was 1.84 lb.per head of population.Since 1880 we have only had one year—namely, 181*3—when smokers deprived themselves to an extent sufficient to cause a set-back in the steadily progressive rate of consumption.There was nothing apparently to account for this ; duty remained the same as it had been for six years before.Since that we have been ploughing onw ard, until in 181*8 the figures reached 73.71*4,11*7 pounds.Stratford, 4th Aug., 1893.Mt ssrsC.C.Rh harps & Co.Gkntlkmen,— My neighbor’s boy, 4 years old, fell into a tub of Ruling water and got scalded fearfully.A few days later his legs swelled to three times their natural size and broke out in running sores.His parents could get nothing to help him until 1 recommended MIN-ARD’S LINIMENT, which afur using two bottles completely cured him, a d 1 know of several other cases around here almost as remarkable, cured by the same Liniment, and 1 can tru y say I never handled a medicine w’hich has had as go h! a sale or given such universal satisfaction.M.Hi BERT, General Merchant PISAPPEABANC côprfao&om/.iron AtMOO&ne.“Yes, sir; some times he wore a brown snit.and sometimes a black coat and vest and gray pants.” “Yon don’t know which snit he hao on when he left the house Wednesday night, do yon “No.sir ; I didn’t see him when he went out.I came up to the room and told him Mr.—I told him a man wanted, to see him down at the door, and then I went back into the kitchen.“Well, neither the brown nor the black suit appears to f>e hun ring in his closet You don’t know of one having b< en removed by any one since the dis appearance of the young man.do you ?’ “No.sir.” “It may easily enough be explained, though, said the professor.He may have sent one of the suits to his tailor’s for pressing and cleaning That would account for its absence.The professor was silent for a moment and surveyed the room curiously.Th» u he said “A moment ago you said * /f ico* Ur Hire n hn rolled, was it nott” Proft suor (HImon pcmlêttd.that you came up here that night to tell Mr.Damon that Mr.Somebody wanted to s»*»* him You stopped before speaking the name.Do you mind tell ing me what name you were about to utter?" The girl’s face grew red and then whitened, but she made no answer.“You might have fancied the caller resembled some person that you knew,’ said the professor reassuringly, “and inadvertently have been about to men tion his name to Mr.Damon.Such things sometimes happen, you know.’’ The professor’s tone was encouraging and his manner such as to inspire con fidence.The poor girl looked sorely puzzled, but remained silent.“For instance,” said the professor, “in the dim light this tall young man with smooth face and smiling mouth might have reminded you strongly of someone—of Mr.Rice, say whom yon have often seen with Mr Damon and whom you would in all likelihood recognize even in a shad»>w.He i^ght have reminded you of him, and your impression that it was ho might have been so strong that when you came up Imre that night yon may have said to Mr Damon.‘Mr.Ru e Ls down at the door waiting for you.A frightened look had come into the girl’s face, and she took hold of a chair near her “As a matter of fact,” continued Professor Gilman, “isn’t that precisely what you did do?Your impression then was and still is that the man who called for Mr.Damon that night was his friend Benjamin Rice." The mild manner of the professor had given place to sternness, and the girl begun to sob.“It was Mr.Rice who called, was it not?” Professor Gilman persisted.“Yes.sir,” said the girl and sobbed yet louder “There, my girl, there.” said the professor soothingly “Don t feel bad.Mr Rico told y»»u not to tell any one.I suppose.But don t feel concerned be* cause you h.we told me.I give yon my word that I Relieve Mr.Rice will get into no serious trouble through your confession.Do not tell him.nor any one.that you have told me it was he who called.It is just as well to keep it a s«KTet for awhile longer.And with that the professor departed, and as he walked back toward the boardinghouse in Somerset street he smiled more than once at something that pleased him hugely.In the light of all that I have learn»»I thus far this conclusion seems right ami reasonable But, as 1 said a nmnif i.’t ag»>.my dsiervations have been limit CHINESE BRIDESMAIDS.An exceptionally homely old woman in China can always make a fair living by acting as bridesmaid at a wedding.A Chinese bride makes a point of choosing only ugly women for her attendants in order that they may act as foils to her beauty.Dr Von Stan’s Pjnkaim'I.k Tablets at all druggists, 35c a box—till tablets.CHAPTER VII.1.The beginning of trouble is the time for its care.The sorrows of dyspepsia arise from neglect.2.Indigestion is the beginning of knowledge concerning the stomach and people get knowledge through suffering.3.L»>«s of appetite, loss of vitality, loss of flesh, loss of rest—these are the penal ties which thousands endure until— 4 They try Dr Yon Stan’s Dyspepsia Tablets.They ease the stomach, relieve all distress and they ala ays effect a rapid cure.AU druggists sell these tablets at 35 cents a box.Dr.V n^tan s Pin*appl^ Tablets instantly relieves heart burn,sour stomach, nausea, headaches arising from deranged digestion, and they quicken the appetite while effecting a cure.Sold by J.L.Math eu.UHAFTER IV At the dinner table that night the professor was quite talkative, but his conversation was about matt» rs foreign to the work that had engaged him in the afternoon.However, the students were natural ly curious to know what his observations thus far had le w i;it I have to say." For the rest »*f the «lay the pr»)f«*ssor made hims«*lf agreeable to Mr Max well and her daughter, and.st> far as W’as appar«*nt.had entirely dismissed from his mind all thought of th«* earn» | that lie had recently been at work on.Professor Loomis returned to the city | that evening, and all through the day i following he ami Professor Gilman were ; busy togeth»*r over their a list ruse as i tronomical pnddems.Professor Gilman did not mention ! the Damon matter to his colleague.In deed it is doubtful if.during the long hours that they were engaged together , that day, thought of the affair once | came into Professor Gilman’s busy j brain.About # o'clock that night several : people assembled in Professor Gilman’s room to listen to his theory Jos«*phiiie Maxwell had lieen greatly interested in the case from tin* first, ami she ami her mother were there.Ben Ru*e.whose room was next to the one occupied by the professor, was there, ami also Mr Sexton and two or three other students of the Rusk Medical aoliege.Simon Hopper, the detective, had also come at the invitation of Ben Rice, who seemed to be acting as a sort of master of ceremonies Rice appeared to be in excellent spirits this evening, and the quaint half smile that always lingered about his mouth seemed to tremble toward a laugh more than once.Just when they had got about settled and read) to listen to the professor Rice was called out of the room for a moment.A gentleman wanted to see him at the door.He returned in a few minutes, remarking that a friend had called for him.but he had excused himself on the ground of having an engage-ment.Professor Gilman sat in an armchair near a small writing table.He was talking to Josephine Maxwrell and i«By rapping his left hand thumb nail with a long lead pencil held 1 between the thumb and forefinger of his right band.Rice took a seat over against the partition wall betw»*en the professor s room and his own and, tilting his chair back, prepare»! to listen Conversation among th»* others stopped, and Professor Gilman s voice was heard saying “The periods ot ertain variable stars make it probable that” Noting the sib nee.he stopj**d and said “The company seems to l*e ready to hear about my theory so.if you will excuse me.Miss Josephine.1 will continue what 1 began to tell yon about th«* so called ‘star of Bethlehem’ «oui# other time ” sbiftimr hia oositiun a little in his chair Profeeeor Gilman began “I have it in mind to aay.by way of preface, that in the exposition of my theory I may make two or three seemingly startling statements 1 w mid caution you.however, not to jump hastily to the conciliions they may j mem point to le»i you fall into error and fossibly establish an alibi for Nutt W* merely have Mr Nutt’s unsupported word here, and so far as evidence is concerned it would have to b»» regarded as worthless in any event.But here comes our friend Mr.Hopper tonight with the statement that the police authorities have discovered j that his story about spending the evening with his friend is a myth—a fabrication pure and simple.The police authorities have been able to learn what Nutt was unable to remember—the di's-tination of the man named Mason.He has been communicated with and denies that Nutt was with him that night Ho knows Nutt, and saw him that day.but it was before 6 o’clock in the even ing.“X mention this discovery by the police because you may be interested in it, not because it is important in establishing the theory I hold.1 was convinced, as indeed were the police, that if Nutt w’as at the Lincoln House at all that night it was for only a short time.Like the police, I fully credited the story told by the student named Wy man.He says he saw’ Nutt in company with Damon ascend the steps to the vacant h«>ns»* at 430 Taylor street at alxmt 9 .30 p.m.Wednesday.He knew both young men well.He was quite n« ar them and is certain that it was they whom he saw’.It seems quite clear therefore that Nutt entered the vacant house that night, and that when the door closed behind him it also closed upon Damon.“1 may say, however, that it matters not a rap to my theory whether Mr.Nutt was at 430 Taylor street that night or a thousand miles from there.’ And the wintry smile played about Professor Gilman s lips.Some of those present looked astonished.particularly Simon Hopper, the directive, but Rice and the other students only looked curious.“I perceive by the l«>»>k on Mr.Hopper's face," resume»!

and that they succeeded only too well may be judged from the losset reported below Two ‘gentlemen’ representing this craft are now spending a holiday at the expense of the city in Her Majesty’s castle at the rear of the Court House, and thinking out some new device to relieve wads.Mr.VVm.Farwell, general manager of tbeE.T.Bank,figured in the event which led up to their arrest.He and Mrs Farwell were just boarding the3 20 p.m.express when a couple of well dressed men jostled up against him.One of them inserted his hand into Mr.Farwell’s pocket but while in the act of doing so he jraa observed by High Constable Moe, who was on the lookout for such gentry.On approaching them the pocket book was thrown aside,and again placed in security.The two men were taken to the Central Police office,and gave their names as Daniel Maston, a native of B »ston, Mass., and Harry Bell, of Plattsbnrg, Pa., and both men gave as their last place of residence Montreal.On being searched a one dollar bill and watch was found on Maston.They also had c mcealed on their persons a soft felt hat each, rolltd up in such a manner as to be easily carried.This was evidently for the purpose of aiding them in hiding their identity The authorities are of the opinion that a gang of four men worked the tram on Wednesday, and that the ‘banker’ got clear away with the spoil.Four men registered at the Sherbrooke House in the morning for breakfast It could not be learned whether they came in on the Boston and Maine or the scoot.At any rate after having been served with breakfast they wrotesome letters and then disappeared.It is supposed they went by the scoot to Richmond and then worked their way back to Sherbrooke on the special for a number of the losses took place between that p »int and Sherbrooke which goes to bear out this theory, is fact fact that a Mr.McCake of Windsor Mills was relieved of $25 while standing on the platform during the presentation of the address to Sir Charles TupperOn this train the following gentlemen were “touched.” Hon.T.C.CiSirrain Cigar Case.Ex-Sj>eaker Leblanc $85.A.H.Moore, M P.$60.Senator Baker $20.The other cases reported at the Police office took place at Sherbrooke.A Mr.M illory of Portland, ' Oregon, reported in the morning that while stepping on the Quebec Central train he was relieved of a diamond pin valued at $300.Mr.John Edwards was a loser to the extent of about $17.Mr.Edwards told the ExamiMR that in the afternoon in company with Mrs.Edwards and some members of the family he got on a belt line car with the intention ofgfing to the park* When his car came along he states that a young man came along and stood on the steps of the car and started to let the ladies get onboard first When he got to the park he found that he was minus his purse.It couid not have been stolen in either cars because there was no one but members of his family around him, and he is certain that he was relieved while in the crowd waiting to board the car.Alex.B rwick, another victim to the extent of $60 was relieved, he believes, at the sanio point and under somewhat similar circumstances.* he two men arrested are evidently nvnibers of the Maine

WITH FIRE CRACKER.A very serious accident occurred to the seven year old son of Mr J.Tate Wednesday.The little fellow was standing in the yard at the house when some one threw a cracker, which struck him right on the sight of the right eye and exploder! at the same time.The boy suffered intense pain, and Dr.Williams was on the spot within ten minutes and he worked for over two hours removing the pjwder from the eye.He cannot as yet see, and, fears are entertained that he will not recover the full use of the injured eye.What makes the accident all the more painful is the fact that when he was a little fellow he had convulsions which aflfected the use of the left eye, and it was supposed that the sight in it was gone.We learn, however, that yesterday the little fellow could see a little from the left one hut none at all by the right eye.On enquiry at the house this morniffg we were informed that, on further examin ation, the doctor was of opinion that the eye would not he permanently

influence of an ames-thetic.It would appear that the boy bad been suffering for some considerable time with toothache and it was decided to have them extracted.Dr.Camirand and Dr.Hyndman were called to the house of the boy’s parents, and the former administer ed the anæsthetic just before the latter went into the room.Dr.hyndman had just extracted one of the teeth when it was observed that the body was becoming rigid, and life was extinct.Everything possible under the circumstances was done but with no avail.Dr.Pelletier, coroner, was called but he did not deem it necess iry to hold an inquest, the boy having died from heart failure.GRAND TRUNK TRACKMEN ON STRIKE.The Grand Trunk trackmen now out on strike report uiitters to be practically unchanged.The men are strictly observing the

so.AT SHERBROOKE.The trackmen in this section are not out, and trams are running as usual.Flavor, ‘ ' and rich, Së» the finest domestic made cigar, the famous El Présidente, clear long Havana filled,

advise using material that is too cheap, says the writer, for in the long run there is no economy in it We have tried several kinds of shel-U - for our hogs.This pattern, after using for several years, suits ns better than anything we have ever seen or tried.We have them built 6 feet square and 7 feet square, but like the smaller size much the best, as they are lighter, handled easier and do not rack to pieces so easily For the sills 2 by 6 inch hard or durable wood should he used The remainder of the lumber should be of the lightest kind, poplar or white pine, and should he dressed if it is desired to paint them This for the best and most durable houses, but the farmer can use cheaper material if he so desires.In building wo use three rafters on a side 6 feet long, and three laths on each side to nail the roof to For these wo use fencing, as it is stronger and holds the building in shape better.For roofing we use roofing plank, with the cracks battened.The roof is put on perpendicularly If to ho covered with metal, the sheeting should be put on horizontally.in which case the laths are not needed For this purpose shiplap makes excellent sheeting and also to board up the ends When framing, we cut material to have the roof extend over the ends three inches, as this gives better protection to the Imilding and improves its looks.Using the best material at prices told

naught Rangers), won of Mr.Richard Heaeker, of Sherbrooke, president of the Eastern Townships' Bank, sent home several months ago, the following account of his experiences on service in V\ cat Africa.It was withheld from publication in the first in stance at the request of the Foreign Office, but permission has now been given to make it public :—Just received orders from the Chief (Sir R.Moor) to start with escort of sixty men and Maxim gun for Benin City to-morrow morning, ItRh.We left Old Calalxar in the Bathurst, arrived at Bonny 20th.Furcados river on 22nd, and spent the day taking in palm oil.On 23rd, steamed up Benin river to Warri, which is like other places, consisting of a clearing in the bush on the river, with a consulate and one or two tradii g factories, with paths running into the bush on all sides to the native villages.We had to remain there until 20th.We passed our time on shore at the consulate, walking, etc., and the Chief (Sir R.Moor) and I took the place on, at single wicket match of cricket and then at tennis and defeated them at both.Leaving Warri, 29th, we took the Akassa and steamed up a creek to Benin river, where a launch and boats met us and took us on the 30th a two hour*’ steam, to a place called Gilli Gilli where we took to the bush and with advanced guard marched twelve miles to Ekbini, where we had two ragged tents to sleep in.The path is through dense bush, and only about 18 inches wide, on each side is luxurious vegetation, creepers, etc., and towering over all are enormous trees, the foliage so thick, that we marched in deep shade the whole way.«Stanley’s picture of his “In Darkest Africa, ' gives one a good idea of the gloom and path through the bush.T he men are good chaps and each man carries his food and kit on his head, so there is no bother about baggage and transport, and we had a few carriers for ourselves.When the men get hot they generally take off their trousers and go along gaily naked from the waist downwards, everything piled on their heads and it takes a good white man to keep up with them.We left Ekkiiu next morning at six and started for Benin City (15 miles).Ekbini was the place where the ex^eJition that was massacred breakfasted on the fatal mornii g, and half an hour out towards Benin the spot is marked by two crosses on the left and right of the road, but there is n *w very little trace otherwise, except a few ske eons We halted after two hours at Egoro for break fast, and it was here, two of the officers who were captured in the first expedition, had their heads cut off.We arrived at Benin City about 2 p.ni.and marched into the stockaded fort built for the garrison, not far from the King’s compound, which encloses all his houses for his wives, etc., etc., and which is situated about the centre of the city, outside the compound.The city is a large rambling place in some parts are thick clusters of huts and again a large open space, and so on.The stockade was in one of the open spaces.We passed through crowds of Bonis (natives of Benin) on our way in, who scowled at us, but who are now settling down and peacefully working.Towards the end of our stay there, their aspect became very different, and they now live in security and not in terror of their King, and of the chance of being sacrificed at any moment.He used to kill two every day and on feast days many more.When the expedition took the place they found îhe bodies of three hundred freshly executed men and women and some only half killed.On the 1st of September the King and chiefs were summoned to Palaver House, about 200 yards from the fort, and our chief, Sir R.Moor, went down escorted by the one hundred and fifty men and officers now collected there.We guarded the doors and windows and kept the hundreds of naked natives back from the palaver on all sides.The king turned up loaded with coral, having on a winged coral helmet like a viking and a long shirt of coral, and attended by about fifty personal boys, all st.rk naked, in front walked two fan bt.ireis and behind him a boy carrying his execution swoid, a murderous weapon.About fifty minor chiefs were with h»m.Then the tii.»l began, and the result of the day’s work was that three chiefs were handcuffed and led off to the fort.They were recognized by native warriors present at the massacre as those who led the war p-rty to cut off tjie white men’s heads.WhBe two were te'ng searched at the guard room, one, without any warning, tried to stab himself to he heart, and then cut his throat from ear to ear, nearly cutting his head off The toner Jed knives of the others were t .ken before they could do any harm.The dead man was put in front of the guard room, and the chief (Sir P.Moor) was sent for, to show what he had done for himself, and then the bo ly was carried off tu a large tree near the King’s Coni pound, the same on which he used tj hang up so many of his victims, and there it hung for twenty four hours to show the native^ h's fate.The next day it rained too hard, so the palaver was postponed unt'l the 3rd, when the king w«s finally, I won’t say exonerated from blame of ma acre, but there was no ev ideoce to convici: him, as he had given orders that the white expedition was not to he at t .cked, if they came without arms, and evidently the chiefs in command of the king’s force attacked them on their own responsibility.The trial ended by six chiefs being sentenced to death.Another chief, on being captured and while being ! brought »n, blew his brains cut, so that was two gone out of the six.Two ape still m the bush, and are < ut-lawed and will be caught soon, and two were sentenced to tj shot the next morning at eight.The next morning we all paraded and with two firing parties of each ten men, went down to the execution place, near the tree I spoke of, and there we shot the two chiefs against the wall of the Compound.They were plucky men and d’d not seem to mind, as they had always li ed in such an atmosphere of murder and execution that the Benis think very little of life.At the palaver the next day the king was told that we were going to take him away with us for a time until the country was settled, and that afternoon 1 went with some forty men down to the house he had been living in, an! went through it, bringing aw»y everything of value we could find.There was very little left, except a few curios, which I took.We found some goats and yams, which we brought away.He had been living in a regular rabbit warren of a place and it took us hours to go through it.The stench was awful, for goaU and fowls had been sacrificed in all the “ju ju” places, which are altars in room*, and the bio.d and entrails were strewn aU»ut.In his palmy d»)* (a month be I on ) it would have been human blood, etc., w hich would have greeted us,but he dare not kill people after he dad once given himself up.tie told us when in the gutrd room that we were managing the weather badly, as there was too much ram, and said he would have sent s une of his men to capture a >obo man (a tribe living on the water) and w uld h*ve cut his head off.After that nothing of interest took place, excepting the distribution of three hundred and fifty of his wives.They were given out to different chiefs, and apportioned out to their own villages, from which they had been taken.It was fun dealing them out to husbands, and all seemed pleased.Sir R.Moor said, “Talk about marriages being made in heaven.Why ! tis nothing to Benin City.” 1 photographed them and hope the plate will turn out well.They all were ugly, but must of them had very fine figures, and not much to cover their charms.Fifteenth of September, Captain Carter and 1 took forty men and a maxim, and having first gagged His Majesty carried bimoffatda.in for the yacht Ivy.We did not expect a rescue being attempted, but thought it would be as well to be care fu), and we had orders to shoot him at once if any rescue was attempted.He was in a funk at first, and thought he was being led out to execution.We marched alld*y, and got to Gwatto at about 5 p.m., having been about 13 hours on the road doing 27 miles The launch then took us on to the yacht, which was anchored two hours steam down the Gwatto Creek, and there we housed him and two of his boys.I had cinner and went to btd at once, was called at 2:30 next morning, steamed up to Gwatto and marched hack to the city, getting there about 4 p.m .dead beat, having done fifty-four miles through rain, ai d along paths with water in most places up to my ankles It is too much for this climate, but the chief ( ir R.Moor) wanted the men back at once.I was too tired to eat, but after quinine and a small bottle of champagne 1 was nearly all right the next day.The King, before leaving, told us that from three to four hundred tusks of ivory were buried in certain wells about the place, so Galbeth, in the force, and 1 went out the next few days, and with tackle sent men down the wells some sixty feet deep, but we found they had been looted before, of course by the King’s boys, who knew about them.We got many boxes, etc., labelled Roisragon A Phillips, and found clothes, etc., belonging to all the ill fated members of the first expedition, even to their picquet box.with the cards and their scores.Wo got any amount of guns, blunder! uses, and horse pistols, most of them loaded to the muzzle with slugs, and after drawing the charges of those we could, made a heap and set fire to them all It was a dangerous bonfire for after ab' ut half an hour’s burning the guns began :o go off in alf directions, no one was hurt, as of course a respectful distance was kept.On the 21st, the chief (Sir U.Moor) self and escort, marched off, and he and I were glad to go, for we had been soaked through every day for some time, and living in mud huts of Bmi make, open nearly all round, but with a good roof.It is not pleasant in continuous pelting rain although very nice in fine weather.We marched easily in the wet, and camped the night at Ekbini ; getting to Gilli Gilli the next day, where the launch met us and took us to the yacht, where wo enjoyed a good bath, dinner and dry bed Steamed next day to vice-consulate in Benin River, nut far from Fana’s town, which you remember was captured about four years ago.All the chiefs of the country came to view the King on hoard the yatch Ivy, and until they saw him, would not believe that even the whitemeu were able to capture him.They must have feared him, for even on the yacht some were afraid to go and see him, for fear his powerful “ju ju” God would do something tetri hie to them.All these chiefs are heads of different tribes on the border of Benin countiy, and the King used to send and raid their places for slaves and men for sacrifice, so it was as well to put their mind at rest and show him in.He is a fine looking chap of ab >ut thirty-six or so and looks a king, having a different nearing from other natives.Hecan trace his descent for nine generations,al! having occupied the throne of Benin, and we could not help feeling sorry in a way for him as the last of a long line leaving his countiy most likely for ever.Steamed two days for Napele where we have a vice-conculate and there we picked up Locke, the other survivor of the massacre just out from England, a nice chap On the first indication of Diarrhoea or Dysentery afewdoses ' of Dr.Fowler’s Ext.of Wild Strawberry will promptly check the advance of these dangerous diseases.It ha# been over 40

'id Strawberry, is on every bottle you buyfc and quite right again.We returned to ! Old Calabar by Sapele, Fore ado’s Riva 1.Brass and Bony, and were very glad to 1 leave the yauh and get some exercise.! The rivers and creeks are uninteresting; ! they are the delta of the Niger, and the water is muddy, the banks are mangrove swamps, with here and there a small village on the higher ground.While in the city of Benin I took twenty photos of interest which I have sent to the Stereoscopic Company of London, and I hope to hear that they are successful.We played golf and have a nice little course made by the garrison around the stockade.We got up a “Great” Benin handicap which we played and sent of to the Field at home, so when off duty we enjoy ourselves.Our yacht is a luxury after roughing it in the hush.We have large saloons staterooms, and bathrooms, there is an iceroom where all fruit and drinks are cooled.Ice is not heard of anywhere except on the yatch, and as all our drinks are luke warm, you can imagine he we revel in the ice on board, although 1 am not sure that it is good for our insides.Ii'llammatory Bheumatism.Mrs W.J Wadsworth, Toronto Junction, says : “For three months I was confined to my room with inflammatory rheumatism and suffered intense pain.Doc tors failed to do me good Five boxes of Milburn’s Rheumatic Pills cured me.” Price 50c.2a 42.THE THREAD OF A SPIDER’S W EB It is said that every thread of a spider’s web is made up of about five thousand separate fibres If a pound of this thread were required, it would occupy twenty-eight thousand spiders a full year to furnish it “HIS MONEY IN THE STREET.” CATARRH REMEDIES COST HIM Hl’MHtKDS AM» NO CUKE -TWO BOTTLES OF OR.aonew's CATARRHAL 1*0WHER CURED HIM Fred.H Helb, jr., distiller.Railroad, York Co., Pa , on January 31st last wrote of Dr.Agnews Catarrhal Powder like this ; “1 had catarrh of the head and stomach for two years, and had it in the worst form.I spent several hundred dollars in remedies and might as well have thrown my money in the street.I was recommended to try Dr Agnew s Catarrhal Powder and two bottles of it has already cured me.I am a well man, and wish its makers the greatest of success.Sold by J.L.Mathieu.MERCHANTS BAN' OF CANADA.- SB,1)00,1!

at the corner of Cutting street they came in contact with a single team belonging to Win.Ben way.Fortunately no damage was done further than the smashing of one of the wheels of the single wagon.Sip Charles Tupper Given a Big Reception Successful Convention and Banquet.Queen’s weather was what was experienced in Sherbrooke on Wednesday.The tine day drew many from the surrounding country to the city to attend the Liberal Conservative Convention under the auspices of the Eastern Townships Liberal-Conservative Association.By ten o’clock the population of Sherbrooke was considerably augmented.No doubt the fact that 8ir Charles Tupper was billed to speak drew many from the outlying points as Sir Charles is comparatively a stranger in the Eastern Townships.The reception awarded him was a splendid one.The special train with Sir Charles and party on board left Montreal at 7 45, and r*n ahead of the regular to Richmond.At St.Hyacinthe a halt was made when an address was presented to the honorable gentleman.At Richmond C.C.Cleveland, ex-M.P., presented an address and a similar ceremony took place at Windsor Mills.Long before the advertised hour of the arrival of the special train the depot and verandahs of the Sherbrooke House and other points of vantage were filled with an eager crowd waiting to witness the leader of the < )pposition.When the train steamed into the depot at 12 20 p.m.and Sir Charles made his appearance at the rear of the Pullman door, bo was greeted with much cheering.When silence had bien restored Mayor II.R.Fraser then stepped forward and read the following address : — To Sir Charles Tupper* Hart.* leader of the Causer vat ice Opposition in the House of Commons : Sir,—We, the Liberal-Conservatives of the Eastern Townships, desire to express to you on the occasion of your visit, our personal regard as well as political allegiance.To ponsess a leader of such experience and statesmanlike character is a source of gratification and pride to us, and it is our hope, as it is our duty, to show by our steadfast adherence to those principles which you maintained during the life of Sir.John Macdonald, and have maintained since his death, that we are not unworthy of our leader.Entering upon public life at a period so early that the oldest among us were then young, and the younger generation was not in existence, you c une at once to the front in public life,and during nearly half a century there has been no tune in which your name has not been familiar as a household word through your identification with our national development.The essential aid you afforded in the foundation of this Dominion, and the sacrifices you made in refusing a cabinet position,in order to secure by conciliation the support of those who had mistakeuly opposed confederation, are matters of history,of which we are not ignorant.They strengthen that loyal support which we extend to you after the lapse of so many years during which acts of public spirit are apt to be forgotten.During the lifetime of our great chief, Sir John Macdonald, he, as well as the country, looked upon you as the mainstay of his administration in cirryingout those great ntaional schemes for the opening up of the country by means of railways and canals, for the development of our industries on a colossal scale by a judiciously applied policy of encouragement, two ob-jçctq which have been the special mission distant day the wisdom of your scheme of preferential trade may be relized, and the magnificent results which must flow therefrom be enjoyed by our agricultural and other industries.Your leadership of the Opposition in Parliament has been marked by wise and broad-minded statesmanship, and an absence of petty personal attacks which must win the cordial approbation of all thinking men.We are reminded of the fact that in a political life of nearly half a century, you have never been personally defeated at an election, and we trust that this great measure of popular confidence on the part of those who know yon,and which has followed public recognition of your great abilities as a statesman will at no distant day return you to the position of Premier of the country which you have done so much to make united and prosperous.Signed on behalf of the Eastern Townships’ Liberal-conservative Association;

Continuing Mr Charles said that although the Liberals had vehemently opposed the acquisition of the West and the building of the C.P.R., they were obliged to admit now that it was that policy which made Canada what it was to-day.He challenged the present Gov- j eminent to lay a finger on any one thing they had done to secure the present prosperity of Canada.Ho made that challenge on the floor of the House of Commons at the beginning of the present session, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier i i reply mide a speech which seemed to give great satisfaction to his friends.Sir Charles Tupper noticed that H was being circulated and he was glad to see that it was, for it proved how utterly unable Sir Wilfrid Laurier was to point to any single achieve ment of the Liberal party tending to secure the prosperity of Canada.Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that he had settled the Manitoba school question.“I am very glad if he has,” said Sir Charles.“1 am not quite sure that he has ( Laughter and applause) But I should he very glad if it were so.In any case I do not see what that has to do with the trade of Canada, with imports and exports.’’ Mr.Mulock had claimed that they had established Penny Postage,Jmt that was done at an expense of $750,000 a year to the Canadian taxpayer.Another claim the Premier made was that he had introduced preferential trade.He was surprised that Sir Wilfrid Laurier dared to mentioned the subject, for after solemnly pledging his word to the Canadian electorate to do all in his power to procure preferential trade, the Premier, in the face of a magnificent opportunity, told the English people that Canada did not want it, that it was veiled protection, that protection had been a curse to Canada and would be a curse to England.For refusing to help to obtain preferential trade and admitting other countries on the same terms.Sir Wilfrid Laurier got the Cobden medal It was given to him on these terms, and when he found himself unable to act upon them the Premier ought to have returned it.If it was a private matter lietwecn man and man he could be pr- secured for nceiv-ing property under false pretences.Ho hoped that for the honor of Canada and for the sake of the distinguished position he occupied Sir Wilfrid Leaner would return the medal, which hung like a millstone about his neck, and convicted him of being faithless to his pledges.When Sir Wilfrid Laurier received the degree of D.C.L.at the Un versity of Cambridge, all that Dr.Sandys, the public orator, could find to say about him was that he spoke eloquently in two languages.Unfortunately this did not reach to the full extent of the Premier’s ability.He could speak with equal eloquence in two lan guages upon either side of the question.(Great laughter) "I see that amuses you/' said feir Charles, “and you may think that I am joking, hut I am in dead earnest.1 have challenged him on the floor of the House of Commons again and again to show me one single principle that he has ever advocated in his public life of 25 yesrs, and I will turn the page and bhow that he has trampled on that very principle and spoken with equal elt queues on the other side.” Referring to his promise to acknowledge the address presented to him at the station.Sir Charles Tupper.said : “1 find myself in some difficulty because it has become a cardinal sin for any one to use the pronoun “I.” The Liberals have done nothing except things that they are ashamed of, and theref ore, they object to other people saying what they have done.How am I to refer to those great eulogiums you have passed on my public life without using that word which is like a dagger to the heart of the Liberals.They denounce egotism as one of the mortal sins which should condemn a man to political and every other kind of exile, but no egotist, so far as I am aware, ever reached the height achie-ed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.He claims to have performed an operation, the result of which was that he went to bed one night leaving Canada a blotch on the map, and woke up next morning to find it a nation.Well, it was not true, but if it were true that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had contributed to the achievement, for which he claimed the whole credit, it would have been the most collossal piece of egotism in this or any other country.However, in order to spare the sensitive feelings of the Liberals, I will not deal at length with the questions referred to in the address further than to refer to the dealings with reference to the construction of the C.P.R.Sir Charles dwelt at considerable length on this point how his proposal was accepted in London after the Mackenzie Government had gone all round the world endeavoring to get a solution for the opening up of of the couniry.Sir Charles Tupper closed his speech by again thanking the audience for the ex traordinary enthusiasm with which he had baen greeted.He came to Sherbrooke as the leader of a beaten party, a party in the cold shades of Opposition, but the reception he had met with made him certain that before long they would return to the position for which they were fitted, and to which their past services to the country entitled then!.THE BANQUET The banquet in the Drill Sued was at tended by about five hundred.The room was nicely decorated with bunting, etc., aud above the guests’ table was a banner with the words “Welcome to our Illustrious Chief.” About 200colored electric globes were strung from end to end of the building.The tahleawere laid out in a manner that reflects the greatest of credit upon Mr F.Thompson, the caterer.He had a large staff of waiters and there was no waiting, and the supply was also abundant.He gave entire satisfaction.When Sir Charles and party entered the banquet hall they were greeted with ap-pKuse.Mr.R.H.Pope, M.P , presided and had on his right Sir Charles Tupper, Hon.L.O.Taillon, J.G.H.Bergeron, M.P , D.O.Mills, M.P., Hon T.C.Casgrain, M.P., Hon.P.E.Leblanc, M.L A., G.B.Borland, J.A.Chicoyne, M.L.A., M.MacDonald, M.L.A., .1.R.Woodward, H.Dalby, N.T.Dussault, L.I.Frechette, C.C.Cleveland, ex-M.P.E.E.Spencer, H.N.England.On his left were the Hon.W.B.Ives, M.P., Hon.G.B.Baker, E.Cochrane, M.P., East Northumberland ; J.Bell, M.P., Piéton ; A.H.Moore, M.P., Magog ; Hon.T.Chapais, J.Bedard, M.L.A., A.Plant, M.L.A., R.Stanley Bang, J.Brossard, H.R.Fraser, Mayor of Sherbrooke ; A.F.Savaria, J.Gouver-naud, A.Noel, Arthabaskaville ; Dr.Comeau, Farnham ; D McCormick, Q.C A.Dufresne, D A.McCaskill, Hon.M.F.Hackett, M.L.A.After the usual loyal toasts, Mr.Pope, in felicitous terms, proposed the health of the guest of the evening.Sir Charles Tupper, in his reply, spoke of the distinguished men produced in the Eastern Townships, referring particularly to Sir Alexander Galt, who formely represented Sherbrooke.Judges Brooks, Hall, McCord, Duncan, and Lynch; Messrs.Bailey and T.Lee Terrill,Hon.J.G.Robertson and the Hon W.Thornton, the Hon.C.C.Colby, who established for himself a position in the House of Commons, which r* fleeted the greatest credit upon his constituency, and there was no man whose return to public life would be more welcome.(Applause).There was no man in whose judgment and integrity, Sir John Macdonald reposed greater con fidence than the late John Henry Pope, and his loss was still felt, but in their chairman he had left a worthy son of a worthy sire.He had already made his mark in the House of Commons, and had a great future before him.He did not like to say much about men in their presence, and, therefore, he would only men tion the names of Mr.Ives, Mr.Moore and Mr.Hackett, whom he hoped s wn to see in the larger sphere of the Dominion Parliament.(Cheers).The Hon.G.B.Baker had made his ability and his devotion to the public service felt in the House of Commons, but the position he now occupied was one of even greater import ance.Every Conservative in Canada felt that the interests of the country were safer, because of the leading position occupied by Mr.Baker in the Upper Chamber.(Applause).Sir Charles Tupper made the announcement that he intended to rev isit the Townships at an early date.In company with his French speaking colleagues he intended also to visit the various sections of the province as soon as arrangements could be made.He added ; “If after that discussion there is not a great change in the relative position of parties in the province of Quebec, l shall be greatly deceived and disappointed.But even if the Government should hold its Quebec majority, it will be overturned by the antagonism aroused in other parts of the Dominion, whenever a general election is held.(Cheers).The By-Town Coons were thrown on the screen and Mr Hickey, of Montreal, impersonated Sir Richard Cartwright and Hon.S.A.Fisher.The toast of “The Late Government ” was reap aided to by Hon.W.B.Ives and Hon.Mr.Taillon.Hon.O.B.Baker, and Messrs.Cochrane, Bell, Mills, Casgrain, Bergeron and Moore, reponded to that of the Senate and House of Commons.The toast of the “Legislative Council and Assembly of Quebec,” was responded ti by Hon.Mr.Chapais, Mr.Hackett, Chicoyne, Bedard and Plant.NOTES.The Victoria Band was at the station in the morning on the arrival of the train as also was the Harmonie Band, and enlivened the f roceedinga while the crowd was waiting for the arrival of the trains.In the afternoon the Harmonie Band attended and gave s me tine pieces.During the evening Butler s orchestra rendered several selections.The arrangements made for the Con-ventioo and banquet were most complete and were carried out without a hitch.The local Committee are to be congratulated for the manner in which everything passed < ff so smoothly.Mr.L.E.Panneton was chairman of the General Committee, H.R.Fraser, Reception Committee, and J.R.Woodward chairman of the Executive, and to the latter the press are indebted for having made so ample arrangements for them at the afternoon meeting and banquet.NOW IS THE ME when every intending purchaser should call in and see our goods.You are certain to find just what you want, and prices
