‘Best of All:

Cough medicines, Ayer’s Cherry Pec- toral is in greater demand than ever. No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so agreeable to the taste, and so widely known, as this. It is the family medi- cine in thousands of households.

*T have suffered for years from a bronchial trouble that, whenever [ take cold or am exposed to inclement weath- er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by difficulty in breathing. I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral which always gives promy relief in returns of my old complaint.” — Ernest A. Hepler, Inspector of Public Roads, Parish Ter- re Bonne, La.

> ‘*T consider Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral a most important remedy

For Home Use.

¥ have tested its curative power, in my family, many times during the past thirty years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in children or adults.””— Mrs. E. G. Edgerly, Council Blufis, Iowa.

“Twenty years ago I was troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded me no relief and considered my case hopeless. I then began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and, before I had finished one bottie, found relief. I continued te take this medicine until a eure was effected. I believe that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved my life.””— Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, Ill,

“Six years ago I contracted a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and soon developed all the alarming > toms of Consumption, I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of the lungs, pains-in chest aad sides, and was so prostrated ag to he confined to my hed most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, my physician finally determined to give me Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took it and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever.” — Rodney Johnson, Springfield, Dl.

Imperial Federation. |

(British Colonist.) i

Perhaps the best way to‘give the scheme of Imperial Federation a_ practical shape, and take it out of the region of theory in: which it was floating above the heads of the’ people and out of sight of most of them, is the plan suggested by Sir Charles Tupper. | Let an imperial conference be held in | London, which leading men from all parts | of the empire and of everr party will be. invited to attend. Let these men carefully | consider the question in all its aspects. If | it is possible to devise a practical scheme of | unperial federation a conference composed | of such men will be able to do the work. If they, after due deliberation, fail to find a workabie place of union it is reasonable to suppose that in the present condition of | the empire confederation is impracticable. | But it by no means follows from this that it is impossible. It may be that although an imperial federation cannot be made, it willgrow. It is just possible that in-, fluences are at work which, by gradual and | unseen processes, are bringing together all! parts ot the British empire. No one sees how the tree that was bare and apparently barren wood in March last is now covered ; with foliage and laden with fruit. We see the result, we have witnessed the different | stages of development, but how it was all brought about no one can tell, Changes are effected in the nations of the world in a similar way. Men have been gradually prepared for some great change. We see the change, but exactly what caused it passes the wit of man totell. The wisest can only guess. The conjecture of one profound thinker differs widely from the

Cost of Government.

The following figures in round numbers will give an idea of the cost of government in the United States, though, of course, the enormous expenditure during the Presiden- tial elections every four years is necessarily not included, the estimate of a prominent

| politician on the other side recently placing

it, however, at a sum exceeding twenty millions of dollars.

The President's salary, and other

expenses provided.............. $ 75,000 Vice-President’s salary............ 8,000 66 Senators, $5,000 per annum..... 320,000 293 Representatives in Congress.... 1,465,000

Travelling allowances for Senators

and Representatives. ............ 75,000 Allowance for Stationery, ete...... 44,000 Salaries of State Governors........ 168,000 Salaries of members of State and

Territorial Legislatures.......... 1,250,000

BOOS. < wok ob vs dasaekd eee $3,415,006

The total minimum cost of government in France, including the President’s salary and allowances of $180,000 per annum, and the salaries paid to Senators and Deputies, is upwards of two millions of dollars—while the income of the Imperial family of Russia is estimated at a net amount of ten millions.

The civil list in Germany amounts

These items are in addition to receipts from large estates.

On the other hand the cost of monarchy in Great Britain is comparatively small. When one thinks of the evident necessity

theory of another thinker equally profound, and the more one reads the more unsatis- factory appears their ways of accounting; fur it. There are men who think that they see signs of a wonderful revolution which is to take place in the not distant future. They believe that events are leading up, not to a confederation of the British empire ‘alone, but to a close and intimate alliance |of all the English-speaking nations of the | world.

But whatever may be our destiny, |Canadians have reasun to be devoutly thankful that their condition is such that ithey can speculate in comfort and with ,easy minds on the future of their country. it is, no doubt, owing to the benign rule of |Great Britain that they are contented with things as they are, and can contemplate the future of their country, not only without dread or even uneasiness, but with hope land pride.

Home Hints for September.

September is the month of beginnings, in the schoolroom, the workshop, the office, the household. The blood moves with quicker and more vigorous movement through the veins and the heart throbs with reinvigorating pulses and purposes. The housekeeper must adjust herself and her routine to meet new demands, Just now the problem was how to secure the greatest amount of rest, and everythmg was considered with reference to its sedat- ive or recuperative influence.

But with September, the work of life comes again to the front, and the worker becomes once more, in his own eyes at least, a secondary cansideration, But work can be done only as the workers are well nourished, and the housewife finds herself ‘again occupied chiefly with concern for 'others—though where is she free from such 'solicitude ? The inflowing tide of activities irushes upon her with an often confusing spray, though she too feels the reinvigor- lation of the season. Life’s tasks and cares, through the brief, bright days ara hardly long enough ta compass them all, seem sweet and satisfying in the September duys.

The first aim of the housekeeper, with referenc® to material things, is the main- tenance of health by an abundance of wholesome and inviting food. September afiords an ample variety of food-products, with which to set forth the daily meals.

But many children bring forward with

| book-bag and slate, a lunch-basket to be

‘filled, and to furnish it with healthful and appetizing food, day by day, is no small item in the list of duties. Very many, too, have dinners or lunches to put up for jadults, and it is harder to tempt and satis- ify the appetite of a grown person with a ‘cold luncheon than of a heartychild. A few ‘hints, therefore, about filling these dinner | pails and lunch boxes may not be amiss at this season. If one is to carry dinners, why shouldn't he or she, or if it is a child, the mother or ‘auntie, or older sister, provide, to begin | with, all the little conveniences and acces- ‘sions that are possible ? There should be a i\lunch-basket or box, at once strong and idainty; plenty of fresh napkins, the Japan- ‘ese paper ones are cheap and handy; two ‘or three tiny “‘shakers” for salt, pepper, ‘and sugar; one or more small covered dishes to hold sauces or relishes, and if no liquid is carried, a drinking cup. If tea or milk is desired, a bottle with tightly-fitting | cork, or better, a glass can, with screwed- down cover, should also be provided. One of the pint jars used for caaning will do ‘nicely. Such forethought will pay in health ‘and comfort, and, thus equipped, the child js far less likely to fall back on the “pie and pickle” luncheon which mothers justly disapprove. | As to food, the first requisite for the cold

that exists for a great nation and a world- wide Empire to have an executive support- ed in suitable splendor, the stand recently taken by Lord Salisbury and Mr. Gladstone cannot but be regarded as being the correct and patriotic view of a much discussed question, and the wonderful popularity of the Royal family at the present time will revive interest in a speech delivered by the veteran Liberal leader many years ago, in which he gave utterance to the following :

“The existence of an ancient and deep. rooted monarchy constitutes one, at least, among the best and most effectual guarantees of the happiness and welfare of the people.”

lL A A Dakota's Deplorahble State.

— ow

Gloomy reports come from Dakota. Over a large section of country the farmers are in a state of destitution owing to the fail- ure of the crops. In half a dozen counties the straw will be left standing, the exces- sive drouth having prevented he develop- ment of the grain so that it would be waste labor to cut the straw. Already supplies of food have been sent into the country te relieve the prevailing want, but the aid can be only temporary, as it would be impos- sible to provide all with sustenance for any length of time. There is nothing left for many of the settlers to do but to abandon their farms and to seek elsewhere the living which nature denies them in Dakota. Many of the farmers who went to the ter- ritory well provided with means to meet the requirements of the new country have been ruined by the failure of the harvest, and as they cannot sel] their land or im- plements because there are none to bny
