NOTES AND COMMENTS.

--As our smokers sit in the evening after their day’s work is done and puff from their pipes and cigars the smoke of tobacco made dear by the Laurier Govern- ment, they are apt to indulge in the plea-ures of imagination and think how rich they are growing.

—A correspondent at Moncton writes, “ Moveton business men are not enamcrel of the new tariff. They find that tbe duties all round have not been reduced in the slightest, while there are some out- rageous increases, and the prospects of the r-construction of the sugar refinery, upon which the lower part of the town depended s much, have been blighted.

— The Belgian council in Montreal does not believe that the new tariff prefers Great Britain to Germany. He thinks that Canada is required by the treaties to give Belgium ana the countries in-the Z>iverein the same tariff as is given to Mngland. ‘Yo give practical effect to his opin ons he prints an official notice advis ing all importers from his country who pay the higher scale ef duties to pay un‘cr protest,

~-In view of a general Provincial elec- tion, the fortifications a: Quebec have sumewhat suddenly been found to aeed a lot of repairs, and men have been set to work to make them. It is suspected that most of the work will be completed about the evening of the 11th inst., immediately after the election. As the Montreal Gazette remarks, the precedent of the roof for the burned Western Block at Ottawa and the Wright bye-election warrants this assumption !

—The expenditure consequent upon the Indian Famine has seriously crippled the finances of the provinces chiefly affected. Benga! will only have ten lakhs of rupees left, a year hence, instead of thirty or forty. The Northwest provinces are in a far worse condition, their surplus having already been exhausted, one-fifth of the Jaud revenue being in arrears owing to suspensions. The total subscriptions towards the Indian Famine Fund amounts to about £700,000, of which Canada con- tributes £25,000. No contribution in mon~y has been received from Russia, but gifts of grain are op their way.

Halifax Herald: Mr. Fielding is trying to carry out in Ottawa his old tricks with which this province is quite familiar. When he was here he was never satisfied till he had legislated everything under his own little thumb or the thumb of some servile friend. At Ottawa he wants legis- Jation passed which would place every manufacturer so under the thumb of the goveroment that they could be coerced and blackmailed to any extent to meet political exigencies or ministerial desires. The only attention Mr. Fielding ever gives to constitutional liberty is a constant and persistent effort to abolish it.

LOVING MOTHERS GROW SELFISH.

WHEN

“Tt is when children reach maturity that the supreme test of parental love comes,” writes Edward W. Bok, discussing the home leaving of children at time of mar- riage, ia the May Ladies Home Journal. “Ail through infance aud early years the children are more or less care. And then, just as the parents feel relieved from cares and anxieties, and are beginning to enjoy the companionship of their chiidren in the serene aad complacent way which ‘grown- ups’ have, there comes a fluttering of the wings, & remote suggestion of fight. The son 18 no less his mother’s than he has been and ever ~ill be. But he is,—and who realizes it so quickly as a mother ?— jn a new and very natural sense, another woman’s hero; and -that woman a girl. With her he discerns, away out on the horizon line, the shadowy lines of a house that is to become a home, their very own. The girl, too, whose going in and out of the bouse has been a daily joy to the parents—she, too, has become a heroine to some one other than her father or her mother. Itis bard for the parents to realize that this mate of her flight can care for ber as they have; that in her

young eyer, in her yonng heart, it is possible that he can be altogether noble and capable! And after

the young birds have taken fiight the parents wonder if sometimes they do not grieve in their new life. But some fine morning a clearer vision is given them and they realize that, after all, their children are Only playing the same role which they played a few years before. It is a magpi- ficent quality in parents wen they so prepare themselves that they can meet this inevitable time with the proper spirit ——when, in other words. parental love can get the better of selfishness,

The Happy Condition ofa Well Known Charlottetown Man.

He Had Suffered for Two Years from the

Tortures of Sciatica and Rheumatism has Vanished and Life is Again Enjoyable.

— Pain

From the Guardian, Charlottetown.

How many people suffer with sciatica and rheumatism, and bow few succeed in obtaining a cure or even a temporary re- lief. The disease may be brought on in various ways, but is generally the result of exposure to cold or wet. Sufferers trom this dread complamt generally seek relief in various patent medicines, with the result of not being benetiited, but in most cases made worse. But reliet and a permanent cure are easily obtained if the right course is pursued, as will be seen on reading the following account of a cure as iven to a reporter who called on Mr. Finlay H. McFadyen. formerly of Cape Traverse, but now :f Cairns Bros. & McFadyen, stone cutters Charlottetowo. Mr. McFadycn says: ‘Six years ago while working on the shores of my farm bordering on Northumberland Strait, my team of horses broke through the ice and in my endeavor to get them out as quickly as possible I too fe!) into the water and got a thorough wetting. Before reaching home I took cold ent a little

later sciatica rheumatism settled in my |

lege, hips and back. i suffered terribly, finding it impossib!e to get into any posi- tion that would give me relief. Even when I worked I had todo so in aguny and at times I was unable todotny kind of work or even to move. I tried many kicds cf medicine that I thought would do me good but without effect. Friends prescribed for me but in vain. After continuing in this miserable condition for two years Mr. J.A. Gourlie. the well-known druggi:t of Sum - merside, advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. 1 must confess 1 had little faith in them, having taken so mary medicines without receiving benefi‘, how- ever I purchased a box. After having taken it [ thought it did me some good, but as mine was such an aggravated case I found it hard to tell. However, I decided that nothing else would do me any good, so I purchased six boxes more, and after taking five of them { was so vompletely cured that I have gained greatlywin flesh and have been in perfect health ever since. I kept the other box for future use, but have never wanted it, as I have never in all that long time had a return of the dreaded sciatica. Lam glad to be able to recommend the Pills to anyone suffering as I did.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the sys- tem. Avoid imitetions by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed ina wrapper bearing the full trade mark, “ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

Charity Coaxers.

Bad dinners, balls and bazaars are, said Lord Salisbury, in a tone of regret, at a mecting in support of the east London church fund, the means by which sub- scriptions to hospitals or great works cf benevolence are coaxed out of the average man. There must be something wropg in the feeling of the laity, he thought, which made these devices necessary.

Bank

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Co. 75 years, and has been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength.

“Tam glad to say that Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla is a very good medicine, especially asa blood purifier. It has done me good many times. For several years I suffered greatly with pains of

I also take Hood’s Pills to Keep my bowels regular, and like the pille very much.” Isaac LEw!1s, Sabina, Ohio.

PROOF OF SINCERITY, How An Army Officer Stood the Supreme Test of Belief In Fatalism,

In the days of the ‘‘old army”’ on the frontier, when military posts were sometimes hundreds of miles from any ‘ivilized place, there was little to do in the way of amusement in the winter time when the post was snowbound, and it was then that the reputation the army has for card playing and drinking was gained. And it is true that a great ieal of both was done at that time.

It was in these days that an event transpired that showed that the prin- cipal acter had the courage of bis con- victions, and that he was most certainly born under a lucky star. It was after a very ‘‘wet’’ stag dinner party, and all had partaken most freely of the wine, rund, strange as it may seem, the subject that came up for discussion was the Mohammedan religion. The Mussul- mans believe in fate. To them a man’s fate is written above, and the time of his death is set, and nothing can ad- vance it. Well, this belief had been dis- cussed long and earnestly. The pros and cons had been gone over at length, till one officer wanted to know of what use was reason if every one was born with a tag of destiny attached. One officer finally arose and said there was no use of discussing the matter any further. The only way was to make a practical test of the question, and he would give himself as a subject. Could a man willfully dispese of his life when the fatal moment had been chesen at his birth fic... stove?

‘Who will pay you if I Icse?’’ said the stbject as he drew his pistol and showtd that it was leaded. He placed the pistol against his temple and priled the trigger. The pistol missed fire.

‘*A joke,’’ yelled the crewd.

The fatalist smiled, and, rccocking the pistol, aimed it with a steady hand at the cleck on the wall. He fired, and th: *-"-* crashed threugh the center of the dial.

“Apologize to me now,’’ he said. ‘‘I have von the bet. I always believed in fate. ’’—Cincinnati Enquirer.

FISH AS FOOD.

The Dark Is Eetter Than the White For an Active Person,

Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in The Ladies’ Home Journal, contends that there has not been a svfficiently accurate analysis upon which to base any table regarding the chemical composition of fish at all reliable. ‘‘The albuminoid matter in white fish, as cod, haddock and ha)ibut, is in about the same proportion as in beef ard mutton. They contain, how- ever, more phosphorus—the active fish, such as trout and pickerel, containing a still greater amount, due no doubt to their activity. The amount of carbon depends largely upon the amount of fat they contain. The whitefish are, there- fore, deficient in carbon. If you should ask an intelligent cook what vegetable to serve with a boiled white fish she would answer quickly, potatoes, as they supply the wanting carbohydrates.

‘*There are other kinds of fish, how- ever, such as salmon, catfish and stur- geon, that are quite well supplied with carbohydrates, in consequence of which they are not so easily digested as the white fish. The more oil they have dis- persed through the body, the more diffi- cult the digestion. In the white fish the fat is held in the liver; in the dark fish it is dispersed through the entire flesh. From this fact we learn that dark fish make a much better diet for the active man. Many authbrities affirm that the more active fish, as well as the more

active animals, give better muscle mak-’

ing food than their more indolent rela- tions.’’

~ HOLDING HIM BACK.

Why an Enterprising Man Has No Chance to Become a Mi!lionaire. Blummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He toils not, neither does he spin, and yet he

| and his family live in comfort that is

not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Biummer to adverse crit- icism, which fairly lacerates his sensi- tive feelings, and he unbosomed himself to a few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things he keeps on tap.

‘*There’s not a lazy bone in my body,’”’ he began aggressively. ‘‘I’d rather work than eat, and I’ve always thought that I had a great business head on me. But the record’s against me. My father sct me up in a mercantile business, and when I had a balance struck at the end of a year there was not enough left to make a decent assignment. On his death I came into a handsome fortune, and I just thought I'd show my rela- tives how I had been misjudged by in- vesting secretly in a great southern land scheme. I went down gleefully to look ever my new purchase and gioat over my prospects. Most of my real es- tate was at the bottom of a lake, and what was on dry land wouldn’t raise a hill of corn to the acre.

**My brother got me anice position as traveling salesman, and I had sold whole carloads of goods at half price be- fore the house could head me off. They told me that I must sell to hold my place, and that was what I was doing, but they discharged me so hard that 1] never got rightly over it. Mother bought me a farm, and again I started to aston- ish my folks by my business shrewd- ness. I traced the farm for the state right to a pateut fence. Ail I got out of that was a judgment agatnst me in ar infringement case. Mother left me what I have now, with a proviso that I should forfeit everything if I tried tc do business of any kind. That’s why I have no chance to make myself a mil- lionaire.’’—Detroit Free Press.

MELTED SNOW POWER.

Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain Streams,

Besides a ccusiderable number of large water power installations Switzer- land is full of small power plants, nearly every town in that land of mountains and waterfalls being well supplied with power frem the ‘‘white coal,’’ as the melting snow on the mountain sides has well been called. When there are ne large streams, many small cnes are im- pounded and collected in reservoirs or the hillsides, and it is rare to find a place of any size which is not well lighted by the power of some mountaiz stream.

At Mentreux the electric tramway gets its power in this way, and from the old Reman tewncf Vevey to the me- diwv:il castle cf Chillon one maf ride ir a trolley car prepelled by the power of an insignificart little stream which may or msy net be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above. {

Tle cupabilities of this geiferal util- izaticu of uatural power are beginning to be understcod everywhere, and, witk the appreciaticn of the possibilities of the best methods of long distance trans- mission, the development of many moun- tain streams must surely come. There are innumerable streams, which, while very small, are yet very high, and thes¢ can with comparatively little difficulty be impounded and carried down many hund-eds of feet, thus making up for their lack of volume by the great pres: sure readily obtainable, and, either by the use of electricity or compressed air, the power may be transmitted to many points of application with but little loss. —Cassier’s Magazine.

Women Read Advertisements.

It is claimed, say® the Philadelphia Press, that the women are the only read- ers of advertisements. In a measure this is true, and necessarily so, for women are the larger purchasers for the house- hold and spend most of the money that is earned by business, professional anc warking men. oneal

Even in the larger transactions it wil! probably surprise dealers to learn how influential a voice women have. The purchase of a home is almost invariably determined by the women of the house- hold, and in nine cases out of ten thei information as to the situation and de- sirability of a purchase is gained from the newspapers.

And every furniture dealer, dry goods dealer, groceryman and keeper of any sort of a store knows that he must ap: peal to the women if he wishes to sel) his goods. One of the largest elements in the success of one of the greatest mer- chants in the world today is the fact that he knows how to appeal attractively through the advertisement to the wom- an.—Fourth Estate.
