it is not our wish to pose a3 alarmists, —to create fear and trembling in the

At this season honest, strong and reasonable statements are imperative, eo that the thousands of half-dead people in our midst may be made to realize thet they are standing on dangerous gronod, and that the 1ron hand of the grim reaper— death—may soon end their existerce on earth.

Thank Heaven for the provision made to stay the cruel hand of disease! Paine’s Celery Compound, discovered by earth’s ablest physician, Prof. Edward E. Phelp-, M.D., LL D., ds the protector and life-giver for all who suffer at this critical time. This marvellous medicine when used at this treacherous season makes the weak strong, gives energy and spirit to the des- pondent and morose, repairs every depart- ment of the nervous system, gives blood as fresh and pure as an infant’s, and clears and purifies the skin now so sallow and dark. In the past Paine’s Celery Com- pound hag proved a blessing to the wearied ani sleepless business man. It invigorates his whole system and calms his dis-

quieted nerves. Young women and girls in stores, and those attending school who have been made pale and listless, and who feel u2ed-up, are soon made bright, happy, vivacious and good looking after using a bottle or two of nature’s life re- newer.

THE WRONG WORD,

ey

(British Colonist.)

If the word coercion asit is med in connection with the Manitoba schoo! quee tion means merely that the Goverument of Manitoba is to be forced to do wi at the province has voluniariiy, in the most solemn and the most binding of all «gree- ments, covenanted todo, no one would dream of saying that the coercer deserves to be blamed or reproached. But though this is really the cave the word is ued as if the attempt were being made to comp:! Manitoba to do what the province has not bound iteelf to do—as if force wav being used unnecessarily and unjust:tiably. When a judge declares that a man must pay the sam which he has bound himself by a note of hand to pay, vc» says that there is anything wrong in the coercion which be threatens, or if he de- cides that a contractor mu-t act upto the comtract he has entered into or he must pay damages, no one dreams of condemn- Dg the judge as a tyrant because he coerves the contractor. It must, then, be admitted that italtogether depends on how coercion is applied whether itis an act of tyranny ora justifiable and a unecessary use of power. By the way in which the word “coercion” is used by the oppon- en‘s of the Government it might be sup- posed that it invariably signifies an abise of authority, But it does not. When itis used to describe what is done when an in- dividual is forced to do what it is his duty todo and what he ought to have done without the use of force, moral or physic- al, it is either misapplied or it conveys the idea that the compulsion used was legiti mate and necessary.

SUNDAY AT VERNON RIVER SOUTH,

Easter Sunday was a special day in the Veraon River Souti Methodist Church, The morning service was devoted to the

The Rev. John Goldsmith, pastor, conduct- ed an exbaustive review of the past quar— ter’s lessons. The prompt answering cf the many questions put showed that a good deal of earnest and intelligent work must have been done in the study of the lessons in the homes. This department of Sunday schoo] work has become very popular during the first quarter of its ex- istence here, and has evidently come to stay.

The evening service was devoted to the interists of the W.M.S.and a very in- teresting and extensive programme was retfiered to the entire satisfaction of a large congregation. Recitations were given by the Misses Battie Weatherbie, Maggie Furness, Violet Goldsmith, Mabel Gold- emith, W. Weatherbie, Katie Huatley, Ly lia Stewart, M. Huntley, and Annie Weatherbie. Readings were given by Mrs, J.F. Hayden, and Miss Weataerbie. A solo was verv sweetly sung by Miss Lizz’e Vanlderstine, and several selections by the choir with Mies May Hayden as ac- companist contributed very much to the success of the service. Brief but appropri- ate addressees were delivered by Mrs. Thos. Furness, President of the “ Aux liary” and Mrs Weatherbie. Miss Clarke, of Pownal,then epoke at considerable lcngth, giving some of the results of her work in connection with an Indian school in British Columbia. This address was lis- tened to with the closest atteation, and was highly appreciated by the audience.

WARES _ABSOLUTELY PURE

Baking Powder

—The London Morning Chronicle says that Lord Salisbury has gone from bad to worse and has“made more stupid blun- ders in his foreign policy than was ever made before.” And on the heels of this very impartial statement comes the news that the French foreign minieter has been forced to resign, because he has “allowed

himself to be the dupe and the victim of |

Lord Salisbury’s foreign policy.” This dreadful complication leaves the Morning Chronicle the only wise factor in the mat- ter, and there is more than a suspicion that the Morning Chronicle’s sometimes takes the form of misrepresentation.

—Harper’s Weekly: The most painful and humiliating fact in connection with

deliberate

the presert political condition of this coun- |

try is the apparent nelplessness of the people. In a republic the people are sup- posed to be the sovereigns. They make the laws through their representatives, aud administer them through their servants. This is the theory, and it is a theory which has been sometimes put in practice much to the moral advantage of the average citi- zen. Bat moet of the time, and now more than ever before, the people of this repub- lic have little to do with choosing their re- presentatives and servants, and less to do with the enactment and sdministration of the laws under which they live. And this ig not so much the result of incapacity &s of carelessness and indifference, and of @ failure to recognize the important relation existing te:weer public aad private affairs,

the necessity of sound government to the

real and permauent prosperity of ind:vid-

uals.” a

A BIBLICAL PARALLEL.

Whe Stranding of the St. Paul Suggests a Curious Analogy.

The stranding of the great steamship St. Paul, which stuck in the sands off the New Jersey coast, cannot fail to suggest to bibilcal students the analagous experi- ences of the distinguished apostle whose name the ship bears, It is relatei in the Acts that St. Paul embarked on a vessel which sailed many days without mishap until it came nigh the city of Lasea, and when in sight of land the famous preach- er addressed the seamen, saying: ‘‘Sirs, I perceive this voyage will be of lur and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.’’ But the cap- tain and his mates paid little heed to the prophet and further on the text declares: ‘“‘Not long after there arose against ita tempestous wind called Euroclydon.”’ The sailors in those days were not unlike their ' suecessors and Holy Writ declares that ‘“‘When the ship was caught and could not bear up into the wind we let her drive.’’ The account of the adventure proceeds to say that fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands they used helps undergirding the ship and the next | day they lightened the vessel.

Then again Paul asserted himself, and

‘ in the presence of the passengers and crew, declared: ‘‘And now Iexhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of any man’s life among you.”’ It appears by the record that the vessel made famouts by Paul's voyage carried in all 200, three score and sixteen souls. ‘The Scriptural narration is to the effect that they ran the ship aground and the forepart stuck fast and remained im- movable, There being no life saving station near, and as it was impossible to command a navy of tugs, there was no way to pull Paul's ship off the sands, and they were obliged to leave it there till the waves demolished it. The super- stitious perhaps will think that the St. Paul is nota very good name for 4 ves- sel, and will recall how this particular ship has had more mishaps than any -other of the American line. The story told in the 27th chapter of Acts, if. due allowance is made for the differences in the science of navigation, then and now,

is certainly suggestive of the great ocean liner which bears the name of the most famous passenger on the vessel which sailed from Alexandria and stranded in the sands off the island which is called Clauda,-—Utica Herald.

A YOUTHFUL PHENOM-NON. Ye is a Siunner in the Way of a Rapid Mathers=‘Ictan,

“Is Chauacey Depew in?’ asked a youth with a disarranged poempadour, ae he sntired the offices of the New York Central Railway Co. Tuesday morning.

“Not just at present,’’ answered a ‘lerk, looking down from his stool at the soung man ani his buttonhole bouquet. ‘What do you want of Mr. Depew?’

“IT wanta job workizg for this rajl- toad company.’’

‘“*All the desirable positions are filled,’’ replied the clerk.

“Who runs the department where ail the figur.s are mado’’ asked the boy.

“You are prolsably looking for Me. Carstensen, the comptroller.’’

The boy made his way into the presence of Comptroller Carstensen and asked for a position. He had a letter of recom- mendation, whe-ein the statement was made that he w:sa master of mathema- tics and a lightning calculator. The com p- troller read the letter and glanced at the youth.

**How old are you?’ he asked

“TI will be 16 on the 20th of this month."*

‘Where do you come from?’’

“Just got in from Albany."’

“Ever work in a railroad office?’’

‘*Never worked in any office.’’

**What can yeu do?’’

‘Just figure; that’s all.’’

“Then you want a position as an ac- countant?”

“*I don’t know what you call it, but I'd like to figure. If you want to try me all you got to do is to give me four figures to mutiply by four more. If I don’t give the correct result in a second, then the game is off. lean add four coiumns of figures and never make a mistake.”’

‘The comptroller of the big railroad be- came interested. He gave the buy the most dificult preblems in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Then he called in sixty clerks to witness the remarkable performances of the young fellow with the ecrambled hair and buttcnhole bouquet.

“You may go to work to-day.”’

This boy—whose name is Alfred Blum —is a most remarkable hand at figures. He was born in Albany. Since the age of four he has shown an aptitude for mathematics. Up to this time he bad soid papers in Albany and supported the family. His father has been an invalid, and be was the bread winner for several small children. His devotion to his duty made everybody his friend. He gave exhibitions of computation that were paid for by those who took an Interest in his wellere.—New York Journal,

UNSEATED BY A GIRL.

Traveller on “LL” Road Compelied te Yield Liis Place to a Picture Hat.

“TI never get up to give my seat in the ‘L’ cars at night,’’ says Thompson. ‘““Why should I? lam as tired asany of those blamed women, and I pay my five cents for a seat—if 1 can get one."’

Thompson was wrapped in his paper the other evening, with a crowd of people stunding along the aisle, looking at him envious\y as he leaned back in his seat. It was snowing hard, and miny of the passengsrs were wet. Immediately in front of Thompson stood a tail gir!, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes and a hat with a brim turned up at the sides on her head. She wanted Thompson's seat, but she could see there was little chance of getting it,

“Til let htm know I'm here anyhow,’’ she caid to the girl with hor, with a sly sinile.

Thompson was deep in his paper, and appeared to be uncenscious of the presence of the girl, although she stepped upon his foot and rustied his paper with the bottom of her wrap. Then she took damper measures. The snow in the hol- low brim of her hat had melted, and she bent over Thompson, so that a stream of water ran upon his paper and emptied it- self into his vest pocket.

Thompson uttered a prayer for the fa- nocent young girl, and then she turned the other side to him, so that the water from the opposite side of her hat would go down to the paper.

“‘Slash-squizz!e-dumfounder, what-the- bells-and-blazes!” yaped Thompson in- voluntarily, as he leaped from his seat.

“Oh don't let me deprive you of your seat. You must be tired!’ purred the demure maiden, as she winked again at her friend, with the eye that was furthest away from Thempson. But Thompson never looked at her as she dropped into his seat with a sigh of con- tent.—New York Press,

The Wrong Hat.

“How oddly things turn eut some- times,’’ mused the ruminating member last eveuing.

“For instance?’ inquired bis compan- fon.

“Well, I was thinking of something that happened a few @aysago. A young man, living near Utica, had his het taken off while passing from one car to another on the Black River train running inte the depet during the high wind last week For some cause he doted specially on that hat, and when the train stopped at the station he offered ao liberal reward for ite recovery. It had parted company with him in tho upper freight yard and hed been blown into an adjoining lot: A railroad man staried out to get the has and the roward, He returned without the hat and a second man started. The latter went farther west than the former, and finally saw a hat in the edjoining lot. ‘That hat didn’t have a chance to get any further away, but when he picked tt up he found it minus the crown. He aiso noticed a piece of pasteboard sticking in the band of it. It proved to bea ticket from Uticats Montreal. Instant- ly thoughts of some horrible accident fiitted through his mind. Here was 4 decapitated hat, so to speak, might not it wearer have been decapitated also, or at least his head crushed by collision with a water column, switch stand, bridge or something of the kind’ He could find no evidence of such 4 catastrophe, however, and hurried back to the station. The conductor of the last Adirondack train leaving Utica was wired. Yes, he had the passenger a! right, and the passenger was mightily tickled to learn that some honest men had the hat and ticket. But the hat the men were looking for was never found—at least not so far as any- one at the depot hae learned.’’—Utica OU bserver.
