During the thunder -storm which
passed over this locality on Saturdky
afternoon, lightning struck the large
elm tree in front of T. Burns' resi-
dence. The tree was badly splintered

the tree the ground was plowed up
for a cuusideraie distance. Splinters
from the tree also broke a nuulher of

The outstanding crops suffered sev-
erly, -from the . heavy rain -storm . on.
Tuesday. Grain that was uncut has
been laid flat so that it will be almost
impossible to have it cut with the
binder, .
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Tool have return-
ed from an extensive trip to the
North-west and to the Pacific Coast.
The trip over the Rocky Mountains
was an event they will never forget,
the scenery being beyond description.
Judging froth • their appearance the
trip has greatly benefited them.
In the immediate vicinity of
Oshawa crops may not come up
to a large average of last year
and the year previous, but the
yield will be large. Further
north reports of the vicinity of
Ragliu and Myrtle indicate that
the crop will be abundant. Pas-
tures are still almost as good as in
in the spring, and -the roots are
growing well. It- is not yet clear
as to what prospects there- are of
blight to potat... crop, but it is
i likely the abundant . rains 'Will
have effect noticed for year's past.
The installing of the town wat-
er system is now about complet-
ed. This week tests have been
made to' find out the defects,
which will cause a week or two's
delay in the final rush of water.
The presure has not been very
hard yet as compared- with what
will be when the water is being
forced to the top of "the water
tower,, and it is pretty hard to
tell how many weak spots there
are.- The- town water commis-
sioners are very modest gentle'
men or else they might have
asked for a little blowout to
celebrate the opening of this
MANAORSI
great system, No event of half
as much importance has ever oc-
curred in the history of the town.
If we could have holidays to cele-
brate nothing surely we could
have spent half a day starting
the water works. It is important
that the sale of water be promot-
ed, and no better advertisement
could have been given the sale
of water than to have had the
whole town spend a day iuvesti-
thig-tire system.—''indicator,

E. W. Boden: by a gilt-edged
request attended a picnic at Whit-
by on Saturday.
Theseverest rain -storm of the
Reas()n occured here on Mon-
day when for hours rain fell in
torrents Inflicting a great deal of
damage to outstanding crops.
Many farmers, however, were for-
tunate enough to have most of
their grain harvested.
Some person giving his name as
D. Miller, of Brougham, has called
upon seven of the principal whole-
sale grocers of Toronto, giving
them each an order for about the
same amount and ordered them
shipped to Locust Hill station for
Machin & Poucher. Five of the
seven firms forwarded the goods.
Mechin ttc-Poucher have refused to
accept the goods as they did not
order them or give any person in-
structions to order them. At
present the goods are lying at the
Locust Hill station awaiting fur-
ther developments.
A Picnic party from Sunny
Mount started for the shores -of
Lake Ontario on Saturday last
when there was a good represen-

Huntsville, Toronto, Mt. Albert
and Brougham in attendance
The weather was ideal when they
started out, but when they reach-
ed D. • E. Pugh's farm near the
Kingston road, a passing thunder-
storm compelled them to seek
shelter in Mr. Pugh's barn. After
the weather moderated somewhat
they resumed their journey to the
lake After passing through Pick-
ering Village they started south
for_the lake and h•' gone as far
.An tJlo ht' se linehen another
storm forced the,to accept the
generous hospitality of Mr. Hick-
ey and family, and brought to a
conclusion their picnic, so far as
the lake was concerned. How-
ever, their -day's pleasure had not
yet coine to all end, for Mt: and
Mrs. Hickey and family proved
tlietnselves excellent' hosts and
entertained t -heir company 'with
an abundance of music and in-
door' game;. Towards evening
they retraced their steps home-
wards and reached the home of
Mr. Geo. Linton, where they were
treated to ice-cream and other re-
freshments, after partaking of
which they . repaired to their
homes, not at all disappointed
with their outing. .-
One day a8 he was leaving his

ask the Congressman where he
could get a car for the depot.
Mr. Reed replied : "Go to the

two cars ; take the first one ; the
other one wont be there.", , j ,•ON

CONFLICTS IN WAITING
WARS THAT MAY BE WAGED
IN THE FUTVRE.
The Cessation of the War in the
Far East May Bring
On Others.
It is pleasant, certainly, to think
that Togo won the battle of Tsushi-
ma in the centenary year of Tra-
falgar. We should, however, hope
that history will not repeat itself
too much, for if the twentieth cen-
tury's opening years are to. be any-
thing like those of the nineteenth,
we have a sanguinary time in store
for us.
Trafalgar took place while -Napo -
leen was in the thick of his Euro-
pean campaign, and ten years elaps-
ed before that terrible war was
brought to a close by Wellington at
Waterloo, Is there to be another
ten years of terror for us now?
Events do rather suggest it.
Japan's signal victory not only
does not bring instant peace with it;
it threatens further wars. As para-
mount power in the Far East, is she
not likely to turn her attention to
her neighbors as soon -as the mood
seizes her? And her neighbors com-

In an undertaking of this kind, the
disadvantages should perhaps be
more carefully considered than the
advantages. It is always the thing
we are not looking for that trips us.
In the -first place, the cost of the
building varies under different cir-
cumstances, The first cost of a
small plant is "treater in proportion
than it is in a large plant where tho
same processes and materials are
used: • This small •plant is apt to be

appear. Expenses must be kept

It Is the Cause of Many Serios
Accid.eats. ••
"I don't think' it would hurt anycommonone," is a common enough reply
from persons who have caused mis-
chief by thoughtlessness or careless-
ness. It is an "excuse which does
not excuse," but is offered as often
as accidents happen. Not long ago
a Western factory put in a new set
of boilers, of great power. When
they were supposed to be compi'•ted
n
an inspector from the insurance cem-
pay went over them. He found
that in a flange of the joint of the .
main • steam -pipe above the boilers,
bolts had been used which did not
go far enough through the nuts for
safety. If.; called the contractor's
attention to the place and ordered it
remedied.
The contractor bought a supply of
longer hops, gave them to a work-
man. and told him to take out the
short bolts and put in the new ones.
it was a trying task. The, apace
over the boilers was narrow and
hard to work in. the heat was very
great. and it was altogether an un-
pleasant place to work, But in two.
days, however, the workman report-
ed that the bolts) were in, and the
inspector was sent for
He looked at the flanges and found
three or four threads of a holt pro-
truding from the end of each nut.
At first glance everything appeared
to be right. Looking more closely. -
however he saw the narks of a saw
across the end of each bolt. As it
was not necessary that they should
be cut off to a .uniform length he
was astonnshed that it had been
done. He tried one with his fingers,
and 'to his amazement unscrewed the
stub -end of a bolt six or seven
threads long.
The others were all the same, The
workman, trusting that the inspec-
tor would merely glance at them,
and not wanting to work to the
cramped space, had sawed off the end
of each of the new bolts at his bench
and inserted it in the empty side of
the nut. The joint -was thus' no
stronger than before. The inspector,ilt
w) happened to be a faithful and
careful man. had • detected the im-
position. He called the contractor,
and the latter called the workman.
"See here," ho said. "See what
you 'have done. That was ordered
rebolted because it endangered the
life of every man who works on
these boilers and in this factory.
Why did you try to slur•the job?
"Well, sir," was his excuse. "I
didn't think it would hurt any. It
looked strong enough to me, and as
far as I could see it was Just a for-
mality about having the bolt stick
out, I didn't mean any harm by
It."
The contractor dismissed him.
Within' a short time the workman
came to his former employer's office,
bringing a copy of a newspaper. .0n
the front page was the account of a•
horrible boiler explosion in a Massa-
chusetts ,shoe factory,' which had
caused the death of scores of work-
ing men and women.
"Look at that, sir;" he said.
"Like enough some man slighted
that boiler just as I did yours. I've
been dreaming of that thing every
night since it happened. I have
been trying to think if anywhere
there • is another piece of my work
which might cause such a wreck. It's

.Dear Mrs. Plnkham--
" In my opinion there is no medicine' made
for women which can compare with Lydia
-E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and you
-have no firmer friend in the Dominion than
I am. At the time of change of life I suf-
fered until I was nearly crazy, and was not
, fit to live with. I was so irritable, irrational
and nervous that I was a torment to myself
_ and others. I surely thought that I would
lose my reason before Igot through, when
.. fortunately an old friend recommended your
Vegetable Compound.' I took it for five
months and then off and on until the critical
y��d had passed, and it restored me to per-
;ect iealtyho.nr My advice to suffering weazren

Dear Mrs. Pinkham
As I owe my id health to Lydia E.
Pinkh-
p eased to write and tell you my experience
with it. I am the mother of three children
grown to womanhood, and have safely passed
the change of life, and feel its young and as
strong as I did twenty years ago. and I know
that this is all due to your woman's friend,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I
used it before my children were born, and it
greatly assisted nature and saved me much
pain during the change of life. I took it, off
and on, for four years, and had but little
trouble and sickness that most women have
to endure.''—Mrs. James E. Mann, 806 Bath-
hurst Street, Toronto, Canada.
What Lydia E..Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Powless and
Mrs. Mann, it will do for any woman
at this time of life.
It has conquered pain, restored
health, and prolonged life in cases that
baffled physicians.

"No, Ill never forget Dodd's Kid-

EFFECTIVE IRONY. _ L
Like ridicule, irony is often more
effective than argument, and may
convey suggestions. • and ideas in a
terse and pithy manner, as when one
says, "You can't always judge by
' appearances; , the man who wears a
• diamond pin may be really wealthy,"
_ A gentleman, It was once said,
never inflicts pain. On which a wit
• remarks, "This is hard on the den-
- tists."
Not a bad story is told of an aged
clergyman who met a man loudly
declaiming against foreign missions.
"Why." asked the objector, "doesn't
the Church look after the heathen at
;home?" - "We do," said the clergy-
man, quietly, and gave the man a
• .'tract, ..
"So far as you saw." said coun-
sel to a witness, "she was doing her
• .ordinary household duty?"
"L should say so—she. was talk-.
' lag." was the ironical reply.
"He never had but one genuine case
.in his life," said a lawyer of a rival.
"and that was when he prosecuted
. _-:Ibis studies."
Some lawyers have had curious ex-
-perlences of ironical wills. There is
the not unfamiliar case of the French
•-merchant who- left a handsome legacy
to a lady who had refused to marry
--hire twenty years before, in grata
_tude for her kindness in .not taking
;him at his word
- • There is a good' dual of pointed
,satire in such ironical Metairie as•the
:-'following• "We ars reminded yr.u.
• can't buy a quart of sand and be
sure that it is not half sugar."
A resident in a suburban district
"'was asked how his house had fared
.luring a snowstorm. "Oh, badly,"
was the reply; "my cistern is the on -
Ay dry place in it."

HEART RIGHT .
When. He Quit Coffee.
'Lite Insurance Companies wiH not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This hi a serious matter to the
`husband or father who is solicitous
for the future of his Hear ones. Of-
ten the heart trouble is caused by
pan unexpected thing and can be cor
rected if taken jn time and, properly
treated. 'A man in Colorado writes:
"I was a : reat coffee dr' k r for
many years, and was not aware of
the injurious effects of the habit' till
I became a practical invalid, suffer-
ing from, heart • trouble, indigestion
and .nervousness to an extent that
made me wretchedly miserable my-
self and a nuisance to those ,Who
'.'witnessed my sufferings.
"I continued to drink Coffee, how-
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill -health, till, on ap-
plying for life insurance I was re-
- fected on account of the trouble
with my heart: Then I became
' -"alarmed. I' found that -leaving off
coffee helped mo quickly, so I quit
it altogether . and having been at-
:.,tracted by the advertisements of
Postum Food Coffee I began its use.
"'rbe change in my condition was
remarkable, and' it was not. long till
I was completely cured. All my ail-
ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
,'disappeared, and, most important of
.all, my heart steadied down and be-
* came -normal. and on a second ex-
amination I was accepted by the life
insurance company. Quitting Coffee
and using Postum' worked the cure."

POISON IN , ICE DREAM
A BUSY DAY IN BIRMINGHAM,
ENGLAND.
The Hospitals Crowded With
Sufferers From Baleful
•
Penny Ice. _
For four hours on a recent Sun-
day afternoon and evening the Biqa-
mingham, -.England, hospitals were
fairly besieged. A constant stream
of vehicles kept arriving and dill
charging sick children. The little
ones came 'in cabs and tramcars, in
perambulators -and ambulances
Many of them were suffering from
violent abdominal pains, and all
were afmcted- whit rattle -hi -rig sickness.
At first it was feared some new
and deadly epidemic had broken out,
but inquiries made proved that they
were all patrons of an Italian ice-
cream vendor on the Parade.
In all 45 cases were attended by
the doctors. In many instances the
work of the medical men had been
made light by the intelligence of the
police, who had • promptly adminis-
tered emetics, without waiting for
the doctor,
Parents and friends of 'the sufferers
became greatly excited, anticipating
the Worst consequences. There were
some noisy scenes outside the hospi-
tal, and then an indignant crowd
went off in search cf the man who
had sold the ice cream. He beat a
hasty retreat, which was covered by
the police. It was well that a good
force of constables was on the scene,
or the man would certainly have
been handled roughly.
The remainder of the, ice cream has
been seized by the police. It is be-
ing kept in a frozen condition and
was handed over to the analyst. '
ICE CREAM FOlt BABIES.
For a time the condition of some
of the children was exceedingly cat -
lea' and but 'for -the prompt measures
taken might have had fatal cohse-
quences.
All the sufferers were discharged
from the hospital on Saturday night,
though many remain under .mexiical.
treatment at their homes.
A striking feature of the incident
is the fact that some of the little
sufferers were mites only two years
old At- that age- It might • be
thought, even the very best ice cream
is liable to have an undesirable ef-
fect, -.
Apparently the Italian does not
rely upon chi dren -for eustnm, fine
patient admitted to the hospital was
a roan 45 years of age• who. has had
to endure a fire of merciless chaff as
a result of his amiable weakness for

. RARE WOODS.
Various Kinds Which Are . Very
Hard to Obtain.
Old and well -seasoned oak, is hard
to get and harder to work, There
is no gnat quantity of .old oak fur-
niture in the market, and old pieces
that would supply large enough
lumber for important work are sel-
dotn found. New kiln -dried oak is
uncertain, being liable to •warp and
crack_ •
Panelled' articles can be made of
such material with some safety, but
large .solid articles are likely to give
a bad account of themselves at the
and of a winter in a steam -heated
house.'
Rosewood also the best cabinet-
makers distrust. This wood has a
peculiar oily quality that makes it
unsafe when ;glued. For .this reason
rosewood is used chiefly as a veneer.
Thin sheets lose much of their oil
and take glue satisfactorily.
Native walnut is no longer a fav-
orite with the cabinetmakers. This
wood was in, effect exhausted a quar-
ter of a century ago or more. and it
is now as expensive as mahogany
Arid by no means so beautiful'. -
Chestnut is a good deal prized, not
for furniture, but for wainscotting
and for- doors. It • is sometimes put
up in the rough with good effect, and
sometimes oiled and ,polished, when
it is remarkably beautiful consider=
ing the cost.
Gulf cypress is used with great ef-
ec In i e as ion, anw en - filled
and oiled- it makes one of the -mast
beautiful woods fora inexpensive' in-
terior decoration.
Cherry was the old ivubstitute for
mahogany, and is still a favorita�
wood with the furniture makers. I 1
is, however, not easily obtained in a
properly seasoned condition, for pro-
per seasoning makes it expensive.
The fact is tat with cherry,, as
with oak and mahogany, the season-
ing is an important element of cost:
The cabinetmaker who must sink his
.capital for two or three years in
wood that is undergoing the process
of seasoning- finds .it hard -to com•
-
pete with those who use kiln -dried
material.
"Mahogany i?1 ' the -favorite -wood
with the best cabinetmakers. There
is a vast amount of seasoned ma-
hogany to be had from ruinous old
articles • matte- - in the last century

well developed; and while thin new
mahogany is Tess beautiful than the

HOW TO THROW A HORSE.
To Thoroughly Take the Conceit
Out of Him. •
To thoroughly take the conceit out
of a horse, there is no better way
than to throw him. It certainly re-
quires pluck and determination to
throw a horse single handed, but if
done, your horse is virtually con-
quered for good and all. To do this
put a good strong halter. on your
horse, take a strap with a- ring in
it and buckle it round the horse's off
forelag 'below the fetlock joint; take
a rope eight feet long and tie it to
this strap; place a- surcingle round
the horse's body; take_ up your posi-
tion on the right side of the horse,.
bring the rope over the horse's back
from the off side; take hold of the
rope, `and pull his foot to his body;
take a -firm hold- of this -foot, holding
it in that position, then take hold
of the horse's halter with the left
hand, pull his head to you. and
press against his body with yo•lr
elbow, using the words "Lie down."
The majority of horses can- to
thrown In this Way in less than a
minute, . while others,. of course,
might fight longer. As soon as the
animal has been thrown, take the
rope that is underneath him, bring it
under the surcingle and pass it
through the ring of the halter, and
hack 'under the surcingle again, and
thus you have the rope in position
to bring his head over his shoulder.
Make him put his head nn the
ground, and if he_ makes any at-
tempt to , get up,- pull his head up
immediately, which will prevent him
from. rising. This will , give him
thoroughly to understand that you
are master. • Once a horse realties
your power over him, he will do .al-
most anything a horse Can do,

'EXACT OBEDIENCE.
Native servants in India have the
generally desirable though sometimes
inconvenient virtue of the Chinese—
doing exactly as they aro told. The
trouble is that they seldom •use
judgment.
Lord Roberts, during a campaign
in India, had ordered his man to
prepare his bath at a certain hour.
Ono day a tierce engagement was go-
ing on, but tho servant made his
way through a storm of bullets,' and
appeared at the commander's aide.
"Sahib," said .he, "your bath is
ready."
Even a butter story comes from an
unknown soldier, who was awakened,
one morning, by, feeling the servant
of a brother officer pulling at his
foot, ..
"Sahib," whispered tho ' man,
"sahib, what am I' to do? My mas-
ter told me to wake him' at halt

Russians Will Never Consent -to
This Demand.
A despatch from Portsmouth, N.
says: The Japanese' peace terms
•• are at last known to the Russian en-
voys. They are regarded by the
Czar's envoys as ,unnecessarily severe
' - and humiliating, but there is yet a_
lingering hope of a successful termin-
' anon ---of- -the—negotiations.
only • a lingering hope, however, - if
one is to judge from the expressions
_of apprehension and dismay that are
being uttered in the Summer hotel
• annex, where the Russians have their
quarters.
They are depressed, decidedly de-
pressed, those among them who
have seen or heard the conditions
which Japan asks to impose upon
her enemy as to the price of ending
the war.
Although not officially announced,
it is learned that Japan's demands
are as follows: •
An indemnity commensurate with
' the monetary losses sustained by her
in prosecuting .ihe, war..
• The cession of Port Arthur and
,the Ltaotung Peninsula to Japan.
The evacuation of Manchuria.
- The cession Of the Island -of Sag-
halien. • - - -
The+ control of the Russo -Chinese
railroad as far north as Harbin,

mantling of Vladivostock ur recog-

Dosses incurred by them in their con-
- Kilt t with Russia, which is tnterpret-
cd in some quarters to mean that
• the European belligerent is entente',
• 'to pay in full • for the enormous
expenditures which Japan has inada
iBut ihe failure of the Japanese to
;insect upon the payment• of a speci-
• ific sum holds out a chance of com-
' jpromise, and the feeling exists

Isentatlres that the conditions admit

draw from the conference when Bar-
on Komura and Mr. Takahira ' let it
be knewn what their Government de-
sired from Russia in return for ah
agreement to stop hostilities, 'as
some expected. They acted as
courteous gentlemen would act, po-
litely receiving the communication
of the Japanese envoys with the re-
quest that an adjournment be taken
until it could be examined.
RUSSIA WILL NOT YIELD.
A despatch from London says: Pe-
truakevitch, a prominent reformer,
who was conspicuous at the Zem-
stvds' Congress at Moscow, in an in-
terview with the St. Petersburg cor-
respondent of the Standard said
that, although peace was extremely
desirable, partisans of peace at any
price - were extremely few. -He . be-
lieved that Russia would ultimately
have to pay a hundred trillion
pounds sterling as indemnity, under
whatever name it was called, in-
creasing Russia's interest payments-''
to five millions. This was not be-
yond her resources, and it was with-
out reason to regard the demand as.;
humiliating,
'•But," 'he added, "the limitation
of the rights of sovereignty, which ,
the Japanese seek to impose, is hu-
miliating, while the cession of Sag-
Ihalien would be disaateous-. Hitherto '

•
The complete success of Japcn in the
war with Russia Is almost absolutely
-assured. To safeguard her empire, and
compensate herself for her losses
since hostilities began, Japan has de -
tided on certain conditions, which Rus -
she must accede to at •the -peace con-
ference now In progress, or after fur-
ther defeats on the field of battle,
Should Japan's terms be rejected, and,
the war continue with the same success
as hitherto, Japan will probably per,
manent'ly occupy the maritime pro-
vinces of Siberia, and establish a great
Asiatic. empire, which she has already
in her Mind's eye. - Otherwise a treaty
will be made which will lay the basis
of, that empire by securing the coetrol
of the railway 'running through Man-
churia, a protectorate over Korea, the
cession back to China of, Manchuria,
under Japan's suzerainty, and, tho ces-
sion to ,Iapan of the Island ,of BaRha-
lin. Thi effect of this upon the map 1s
plainly seen above. Most of these
terms- Russia is probably prepared to
assent to, and the danger points in the
conference will be the size of .the in-

- • A Rich Country.
HAVE often thought that there
tv aught to he more money in Ireland
than any other piece of ground on
the Footstool. For bow many gener-
ations—say, about three generations—
the whole civilized world outside of
Europe has been pouring money into
old Ireland, She may have been poor
once, but she shouldn't he now, if the
old girl has any " since ,tv sarin' up,''
Monet for the old folks in the little
old mud cabin on the hill: money for
a headstone for the sister dead and

houl ; un,nev to send Jerry. out
here: money for the hind league, and
for the patriotic fund: and no rent
fund, and to free Ireland. by tripes
husshels of money rivers of money,
loop the loops of money, loads of
wonev, money to burn, from Canada.
an' the States. an' Austraily, and
South Africa, and the islands of the
sea, raining down on Erin Go Bragh
like hail—you can spell as you like'.
And what a rice country Italy ought
to be! All over the world there are
countless thousands of Dagos earning
big money and sending it home, for
they live as•cheap as Chinamen. Nin•
ety cents out of every dollar they earn
goes to Italy sooner or later, and soon-
er or later Paequawlay goeth home to
live like a Roman count on virmicalli
and olive oil.
Ill tell you what started me talking
like this. The great Northwest to ask•
ing for thirty thousand harvest hands.
Where will she get them ? From On•
ono chiefly. Will %bei ever return !
But surely they will send their wages
home. They will when you meet a
grindstone rolling up hill. They will
stay there and their money will go to
make Winnipeg the greatest city on
the continent, and the Northwest the
greatest country on earth—present
company always excepted.
No, gentle reader, they will send no
money home. Their old fors are well
off. and the trouble is, this is a great
country.
We've got to be rich or we couldn't
stand it. The other_ _dav I saw a
wealthy old farmer set bis boy up
with his young wife on the next farm,
with stock. implements, furniture and
all complete, including even a cabinet
organ. a cuckoo clock, a rubber plant,
fortv yards of rags carpet, two feather
"ticks,' a hen and chickens, and a
hen and chickens. and a crayon pic-
ture of himself done from a tintype by
a clever duck in Toronto.
Ontario has done that for Manitoba.
We said to Manitoba, "My son, be
virtuous and you will be happy." We
Ellowed his land for him, and sowed
the seed,. and bought him a binder,
and now he wants us to send him a
man or two to help him "shock up."
I like nerve, but this suits me a little
