Thieves entered the house of the late Thomas Philip, south of town, on Tues- day evening of list week and got to- gether considerable booty before they were evidently frightened away. Four bags bad been filled with clothing ready for removal and the copper bot- tom had been torn from a kettle. Not satisfied with this, the vandals cut up valise ' and a quantity of .bedding. The whole affair looked as though the perppetraters intended to dispose of the stuff to a junk dealer. This is the sec- ond time the place has been entered since the death of Mr. Philip,—Journ- aL SeARBORo.• John Murray. who has been in jail for three weeks awaiting trial on a charge of acquiring81 09 by fraud, was acquitted by Jdge_ Winchester yesterday. Murray was employed by William Coutts, farmer of Scarboro, and was told to deliver a load of hay to William Lilly. The Load weighed 1875 pounds and was worth *10 81, but the weigh ticket was altered to 2075, and Murray collected *11 40. On dis- covering the fraud. Mr. Lily had Mur- ray arrested- According to tie evi- dence gives -at the trial, Judge Win- chester concluded that if anyone had altered the ticket it was Coutts, Mur - ray's employer and his -honor ordered his arrest on a charge of perjury.. ' ". WHITBY. own There is no dearth of empty dwel- ling houses in. Whitby today. South of Dundas street there must be at least a dozen, and quite .a number to the north. The advent of the car fac tory workmen will cause these- -vacant houses to be occupied. On Monday A. W. Jackson was serv- ed with notice of action to unseat loin as Mayor of Whitby' for alleged dis- qualification. At the setae time not- i'e of -an action. for *5000 damages for slander and defamation of character was served on him on behalf of L. T. Barclay. The alleged . sleeiderous statements are said to have been made during the late municpaI elec. tion campaign. 'MARKHAM. The largest monument ever brought to Markham was a few days ago plac- ed over the grave of the late William•. Fleming. The granite base weighed six tons. The monument, in accor--• dance with the expressed wish of Mr. Fleming has engraved upon it the in-' acripton, "Wal. Fleming. champion draught player of Canada, 1867 to 1896" At Division Court in Markham last week, W. J. McGuckin, of Uxbridge township, sued Levi E. Hoover, of Stouffville, for !60 damages for mis- him in 1906. McGuckin an, a witness swore that Hoover represented the mare to be 13 or 14 yeara old and in foal. The mare proved not to be in foal, and was 23 years old. Hoover swore that he sold the horse with- out any guarantee or misrepresenta- tion. • Judgment for plaintiff for 1160 and costs. LAREMONT. Rev. J. W. Totten last Sunday spoke of the year coining nearly to a close. He thanked the friends who so kindly contributed thus far to the funds of the Missionary Society. He stated that there are others from whom he hopes to hear before long in the inter- ests of the great 'missionary work. Now that Mr. Rockfeller appears to be likely to -donate fifty millions of dol- lars to the work of helping the mil- lions of China, and many otbpr-lay are doing noble things for the great missionary work, the churches it is hoped will advance in their gifts to the great . work of spreading abroad. the gospel of Jesus Christ.through the whole earth,. Congregations were -good in the Methodist church last Sunday. The pastor preached at both services. He took as his subject in the morning the conversion of the children. He urged the importance of seeking in early life to bring the young people to Jesus. In the evening he spoke of the danger -of-drifting, as so many are doing, over life's sea without any Christian aim or purpose or plan. The Thaw murder trial in its shocking and disgusting de- tails gives an awful warning, as it sets before us persons possessed of wealth and much the world calls great, but yet drifting on the aide of evil and borne down by currents of sin to an awful ruin.

'A desegetch from' London •says : The -• 'twc outstanding features in the budget. es statement brought down to .the House of ' . Commons by Mr. Asquith, Chancellor of • the Exchequer, were the announcement of a reduction of the income tax by. threepence in the pound, and the state - merit by the Chancellor that a fund was to be started to provide for the hgnor- able relief of necessitous old age. ' THE PENSION FUND. The surplus over expenditure this year _. would be $17,165,000, and after making .: all reductions there would be a disposal surplus of $0.165,000. Of this $4.665,001 would be retained for emergencies.. The remaining 87,500,000 would be invested and would form the nticleus of an old- • age pension fund. In addition, there 'would be 83,750,000 of uncollected ar- rears of this year's income tax.- This would swell the fund to $11,250,000. . THREEPENCE OFF INCOME TAX. Mr. Asquith' stated that he did not in- tend to make any reduction this year in 'indirect taxation. He -intended, however, .to deal with the. income tax incidence,. --which in -its present shape worked un- justly. Earned incomes under $10,000 a .year would hereafter only pay nine- • pence, while the existing tax of a still- es- ling in the pound sterling on unearned '_incomes would remain. This reduction would be .in addition, to all the present -rebates, but it would be confined to the earned incomes of persona whose total • income from ail sources did not exceed $10.000 a year. • . DEATH DUTIES REVISED. 55,000,000,,.10' per cont. • On estates of 310,000,000, 1.4 per cent. would be levied on the second $5,000,001. On estates of 313,000,000 or over 10 per cent. would be levied on the first $3,000,000. and 13 per cent. on every other $5,000,000. THE DEBT REDUCED, Mr. Asquith estimated the expenditure for 190'7-'08 at $703,785,000, $8,320,000 less than for last fiscal year. The reve- nue on the existing basis of taxation was estimated .to be 8720,950,000. The permanent reduction of the na- tional debt. for 1006-'07 was announced to be $68,570,000. had The treasury receipts for the year been over $10,000,000 in excess of the estimates, unanticipated death duties accounting for $6,000,000 of this sum, while the balance was made up of in- creased receipts from the coal duty and the mint. The latter was due to the in- creased demand for coinage on account of the prosperous state of trade, and the lame amount of silver, aggregating $1,500,000, required for varied .purposes. REVENUE NOT ELASTIC. The Chancellor of the Exchequer esti- mated the loss from 'this differentiation of the Income tax at $6.250,000. Of this. however, $3.750,000 would not recur, but would be grade up by a revision of the death duties as follows :-Five per cent.. as at . present on $..10,000 and under, above $750,000 7 per cent; above $1",250,- 000u 8 per cent.; above $2.500,000, 9 per went.; above *3,750,000, and up to .A despatch from . Montreal says: A. most disastrous fire broke out at 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon in the premises of the Canada Steam Laundry & Dye \\'orks. corner of St. Justin and St. Catherine streets. As a result of the fire two charred and burned bodies, sup- posed to be those of Mrs. Furlong and Wm.

As Chancellor of the Exchequer, he, Mr. Asquith. was glad to say that there were. signs of a definite reaction, and the -present 'year had furnished an ificrease of a In these receipts. There had been a fall- ing off in_ the revenue from stamps'owing to the slackness' of operations on the Stock Exchange. and to the tact that the telephone was superseding CLOSE PLANTING. .Will Produce Better Timber Trees Than Wider Spacing -Otter Advaxitages.

Lepinay endea- vors to rehabilitate the monkey, who, he. assures. us., ,does nOt possess all' the de- fects usually attributed to him. The monkey. according to the eminent pro- fessor, is neither .vicious nor ferocious. On .the contrary, he, is very much afraid of the human race, for he has greht diffi- culty in understanding naind compre- hending what we desire crf him.- -He has an especial dread of anything new, and in illustration of this, M. Lepi- nay mentions the case of a young chiin- panzee; Edouard, aged 22' months. His gestures and his antica remind, one of " A PLAYFUL CHILD,. , of four.or five years amusing himself on the sands. Ile will fearlessly make a leap of six or even nine feet in his -cage, but if his attendant takes him out of it he .will cling to him with the tenacity of desperation, lest he should fall three feet ti the ground: '. In the same way a monkey who jumps about without the slightest fear an the branches. of the highest trees in the for- est, is.seized with panic when yOU place him on a trapeze a few inches from the ground. The monkey is not naturally ill-tempered or .cruel; it is only when he is attacked or believes :himself Men- aced that he shoWs his teeth. and uses his claws. • M. Lepinay is of the -opinion that those who attempt to -train monkeys show, as a rule, a lack of intelligence in their methods. They teach the aninial to be- come an automaton, instead of appealing to his 'intelligence: 'Thus the , famous Consul was trained to do little else but repeat -certain. automatic moVe_mnts. And yet he was very intelligent, as wit- 'neee his bestitiN he exhibited alniost human fortitude, supporting bravely ce painful' operation, which he evidently realized was for his good. Another example.of almost human in- telligence was shown by a -monkey at 'the Paris Zoo. As he swung himself for- ward to a locker beyond his reach he noticed that the cord to which he -Clung had a• knoe in it.So he stopped, undid the knot. reached the ,locker, and from a bunch of keys given him by his keeper, finally selected the proper one ' • - • • AND OPENED THE DOOR. Monkeys may not know that necessity is 'the mothervof invention, but they act on' that principle. Take, for instance, the animal who, finding that the tit -bits offered him by th'e public were beyond his reach, obtained a long straw, taking care that it should be sufficiently rigid, end. thrusting et forth between the bars of his cage, held it out for morsels of -nuts and sweetmeats. If the offering were balanced properly on the straw the monkey piloted •it back so.carefully -that it never failed to reach hitn. . Femate monkeys will sometimes kill - their young. but M. Lepinay has noticed That they only do.so when they are con- vinced that their babies are defecated or Weakly. and the fact that they &I no aversion to them is proved by tht - circumstance that they will not allow • the bodies ,to be taken from them:: On the either hand, when the malt • es, , monkey kill's his offspring he acts Iron, -•,- jealousy aroused by the sight of thl . • L. affeetion lavished on the young try thee - mother. •• ••- • e • . • • - • INDIGES'IlON CURED.

This remarkable woman, 'whose maiden name- was Estes, was born in Lynn, 3Iass., February 9th, 1S19, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind an earnest seeker after knowledge, and ab above all, pomeseed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. . In 1843 she :Married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity. and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole World. • The Pinkhamq had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gro:,c of bottles. Then came the question cf selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a lob printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham bone in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. Simpson :The People's +Cash Store. But our business does.

By tradition and experience many of them .gained_ a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the -various roota and herbs. • _ Mrs. Pinkhara took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs: their char= acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature. so bounti- ful' r provides in the harvest -fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds ; so, if we but take the pains to and them, • m the roots and herbs of the field there . are remedies expressly designed to. cure the a undone. ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure andsearch these out; and- prepare simple effec- tive medicines for her own family and friends. . Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted . for the- cure of the Ms and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Plnkham'e friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became. quite popular _among them. All this so far was done freely, without money - lind• without price as a labor of love. .. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the real estate interests of the Pinkham' milt', as this cease of 4eieiness suiffered most from fearful de- pression, so when th,e Centennial year dawned it found their property swept :sway. Some other source of income had be found. this point Lydia E. Pinkhan's Compoundwas made known Orld. • The wonderful curative properties of the medicine- were, to a great extent, self -advertising,. for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had eared enough money to commence. newspaper advertising and from that time the growthandsuccess of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her vegetable Compound have. become household words every- where, and many tone of roots and herbs are wed_ annually in its manufacture. By Order. " FRED. GELINAS, Secretary.

Bnt the oldest and one of the most interesting visitors visited the bush last Tuesday in the person of Mrs. Dolphin, who in her 75 years walked up to the bush accompan- ied by her daughter, Mrs. Rise- brough, to see the modern way of making syrup. Mrs. Dolphin, who is herself a sugar and syrup maker by fame, made hundreds of pounds of it years ago in the good old-fashioned way, as far back as sixty years ago. After inspect- ing the Grinour sap spouts and buckets, she watched the evapor- ator from the passing of the sap from the storage tank into the pans and on tjirough to the draw- ing off of the syrup, and to finish she had a "sugar off' assisted by Master Wallace McFarlane, who is an expert at that part of the business: She pronounced the sugar and syrup the best that could be made and returned home pleased with her visit which brought pleasant memories of days long past. 9jaafings 'Leave our orders at the PICKERING LUMBER YARD for Ontario and New Brunswick white cedar shingles.
