Sir,—I notice in the Daily Patriot of the 27:h of January aa editorial in re- gard to the success of the steamship Minto battling with the ice, which is said to be written by a passenger. I most cer- tainly think that passenger has been dreamlog, a8 we in this part of the Pro- vince are at aloes to know where The Misto came acroes any ice this winier. A railing vessel could go from George- town to Pictow ali this winter, and not eas counter any ice. Now, Mr. Editor, I de net want to find fault with The Minto, but I do find fault with the Patriot editor for writing such stuff about battling with the ice whea there is no ice,a fact of which the editor of the Patriot is wellaware. I will be very sorry if Tbe Minto is not a success, as I do not enjoy throwing eo much casb away as The Minto cost to build her for no uve. When the time comes that The Minto will get into as heavy ice as The Stanley has been in, and found her way througb, then, and not tiil then will it be time to blow about The Minto’s suecesa in battling with the ice.

A lion’s first sigus of anger are as follows: Its tail rapidly twists from side to side, the bottom slightly raising and the black tassel at the end beating the air; it lowers its head more than usual and growls, at intervals showing its teeth. Then its voice becomes loud er, it roars, shows its teeth and lowers its ears, the movements of the tail in- creasing all the time. At the time of charging—that is, at the height of its anger—the tail rises in the air until it is almost vertical, the black tassel continues to move, the ears are flattened completely, and the ani- mal comes toward you at a slow trot, then at a gallop, and finally springs forward with open mouth and extend- ed claws. Sometimes it shows these various syroptoms without charging, restrained by prudence, but it never charges with- out showing them. When the tail rises, ; the hunter can bring his rifle to the shoulder and await his opportunity. In hunting, a man who is on his guard is worth four. A charge is extremely dangerous, al- most aiways fatal when unexpected, either because of the dense vegetation or other causes, but if you see the ani- mal getting ready flight is useless. Stand your ground. The only thing to do is to keep cool and trust Im your weapon. If you have no corfidence in yourself it {s prudent to avoid measur- ing your strength against these anl- mals, No Rest for Him He Dreaded When Night Came on—A Well-Known Tcronito Citizen Tells of His Years of Suffering from Asth- ma—Was Cured by Clarke’s Kola Compound. Mr, J. Fonston, driver for Mr. J. Walsh, soda water manufacturer, ‘Voronto, writes: ‘I have been a great sufferer from that dread disease asthma for cight years, finally the disease becoming so severe that I could ho rest ut night. I dreaded when night came on, for there was po rest for me. I suffered only what an asthmatie can real- ize. I tried many remedies: at last the stuff I smoked iost its effect. I consulted my family doctor, und after a few weeks’ treatment said he could do nothing for me. thought it funny that the science of medicine had done nothing for the poor asthmatic. A neighbour, who had been eured by Clarke's hola Compound, advised ne to try it. I procured a bottle, which helped me some. I togk in all five bo les, ind it has worked wonders in my Case, and have not since lost a night's sleep or u day's work. It is truly a wonderful retuedy, end I can cheerfully recommend it to any sufferer from asthma.”’ Clarke’s Kola Compound is sold by all druggists or by the Griffiths and Macpherson Co., Lim- ited, 121 Church street, Toronto. 4 Important —say Announcement We hereby beg to announce to our customers that we have sold our Grocery Business to Meesrs R.
