CAMPAIGN NOTES.

—Speaking of the Quebec contingent iu the new ministry the Toronto Mail and Empire says: “Messra. Angers and Taillon were instrumental, the one in dis- covering a@ great and successful conspiracy against the public, and the other in re- pairing the damage the liberals had done. These gentlemen are now to meet in Open confl.ct the very men whom they exposed a few years ago. for Mr. Laurier has work- ing for him, either as agents or aa candi- dates, all the surviving particpants in the great scanda'. [t looks as if the geatlemen who ridded Quebec of a nest of rogues, some of whom, according to the Toronto Glole, ought to have been promptly put in gaol, have been providentially called into the federal arena to keep these same ras- cals out of the larger and richer field which they dearly wish to exploit.”

—A Roentgen ray, applied to the head of Sir Oliver Mowat, just before he wrote his famous letter to Mr. Laurier, is said to have revealed the following train of though: :

“Well, Laurier wants me to help him in this election and he wants me _ badly. But Iam very comfortable where I am. Still, his people are putting up such a big bluff about winning this time that if I re- fuse it will sort of make them feel sick. So I must let Laurier down gently. Let me see how farI can go. I can promise to join his Government if he succeeds in winning the election. That’s safe enough, because he won’t win. Yes, that’s a good card and I'll play it, and I will aleo give him a bit of advice not to be too down on the N, P. or he won’t have a ghost of a show. If he could only get rid of that fellow Cart- wright he might have @ chance, for he has sense enough to keep his mouth shut, and not offend peopie. Well here goes—Tor- ooto, 2nd May, 1896. My dear Mr. Laur- ier, etc.” P. S. (hitherto unpublished). “The above is for publication, and is not intended as an evidence of good faith. 1} may tell you on the strict q. t. that my opinion is that it is no go.—O. M.”

—A language student in the west de- sires to be informed of the correct meaning of the term “talking through his hat,’ Like many other pbrases in the curious’ but expressive speech of the United States, the words du not permit of an exact trans. Jation into the English tongue. Their spirit is best shown in an illustration. For instance, when a Liberal says he is in«pir- ed with the hope of victory at the sight cf Sir Oliver Mowatt siiting in the Ontario Premier’s chair waiting to see if Mr. Laurier will win the eections and give him a bigger job, that Liberal ia “ialking through bis hat.”

and every incidental risk run if the coun try is to be rescued from the misgovern ment the Dominion has so long been suffering from.” He is canny enough, however, to make no sacrifice himself, and to take no risk, incidental or otherwise. All he does is to lend his name, in viola- tien of the old reform policy of non- intervention, to the men who are making the sacrifices, on the understanding that if they win he shall be suitably remembered. This is precisely what he has dorein the past, save flat hitherto there has beea no bargain as to the remunerat oa.

BACK,

of

It is a mistake to suppose that pain in the back is a result only of a cold, and is more of a rheumatic trenbie than anything else. Jt is evidence that disease has lodged itself in the kidneys, and the warning is plain, if further trouble is not to be taken on, that the pain must be quickly got rid of. There is no remedy we can so com- pletely recommend as South American Kidney Cure. Knowing what it wil! do, there is nothing extravagant in the state- ment of Count de Dory, who wrote from Neepawa, Man.: “During my travels I was induced to try South American Kidney Cure, from which remedy I received in- stant relief. I do not think it hae an

difference between the conduct of Sir.

Charles Tupper or of Mr. Taillon and that of Sir Oliver with respect to the contest. Sir Charles renounced the High Commis- sionership, which he might have contin- ued to hold, and accepted a porition in the Government at a lower salary, which position he will relinquish if the country should go against him. Mr. Taillon gave up the Premiership of Quebec. But Sir Oliver, pleading old age, infirmity, and medical advice, hulds tenaciously to the salary which he increased afew years ago, and for reasons which commend them- selves to his judgment, will, under present conditions, txke no chances as to the future. . . . . * * . * * The knight declares that there is a grave crisis on—“a crisis so grave that every personal sacrifice has to be made,

CHRONIC HEADACHE.

The change in my Mother's condi- tion maroellous. Scott’s Sarsaparilla is a Boon.

MONTREAL, August 29th, 1895. GENTLEMEN :—There is such a change in my mother’s health that I cannot re- strain myself from writing you. She suffered for years past with a chronic t@adache, accompanied with a disordered stomach. She was weak and irritable, and we thought she was going into a de- cline. For three weeks she has been taking a course of Scott’s Sarsaparilla, which was recommended to her by Mr. McGale, Druggist, Montreal. Her heaa- ache is now but a memory, her appetite is good, andshe has gained five pounds in weight in twelve days. She is a different woman, andI feel that you, in God’s hands, have been the means of re- storing her to health. I shall always recommend Scott’s Sarsaparilla to suffer- ers from head or digestive troubles. Thanking you again, I close. Yours sincerely, Hortense Gaviliere. Scott’s Sarsaparilla is a concentrated extract, pleasant to the taste, and is taken in small doses. It is the finest remedy for disorders of the stomach and liver, palpitation, screiulous sores, eczema

It Was Hard Times. I was riding in a mule-cart driven

by an oldman at whose cabin I had

spent the previous night when we met a young man mounted on a horse, and the old man saluted:—

“Howdy, Jim? How’s things down at the Co’ners?”

“Howdy, Uncle Jake?” replied the young man. ‘Not much a-doin’ down our way.”

‘Shot any revenue fellers Lately

“Only one, I believe. Hain’t bin no good sezun fur shootin’ revenue fel- lers.”

“So I’ve hearn tell. Hev the Whites killed any mo’ of the Tompkinses yit?”

“They shot Buk Tompkins last week, I believe, but he dun got away.”

“Did, eh? Somebody was sayin’ that Joe Hendricks had. a pop at ole man Tolby a few days age.”

“Yaas, I reckon, but he didn’t fetch him. Bullet jest went through his hat, or sunthin’ of that sor”

“Any law-suits down thar’?” con- tinued the old man, evidently bent on unearthing some news of interest.

“Only one,” was the reply, and that didn’t amount to shucks. All got to shootin’ befo’ cote opened and the squar’ dun run away. What yo’ bin doin’ since I saw yo’ last?”

“Oh! Nuthin’ much.”

“Shoot off any mo’ of the William- ses?”

“No. Durned critters keep so clus at home that I can’t git a pop at ’em. Mighty pore times, Jim, take it all around?”

“Yaas, mighty pore.”

After we had gone on for a little distance I askeél of my companion:—

“Uncle Jake, what do you call good times around here?”

“Good times--good times?” he re- peated as he flicked his whiplash at a big horse-fly on the mule’s neck. ‘Why, sah, what I calls good titnes is when we pop over a revenue feller every day or two, and when! kin git a

The Theatrograph.

The ‘‘theatrograph” is the name of an ingenious modification of the kinet- escope, which enables pictures to be thrown life-size on a screen. By a simple piece of mechanism, the pic-

+ tures are each brought into pesition for

a tenth of a second, during which time they are stationary, and the light is cat off only during the very small frac- tion of a second while the pictures are deing changed. Indeed, it is often found unnecessary to cut off ‘the light atall. Inthis way sufficient light is obtained to give a bright repraduction on the screen, whereas, were the pic- tures to move continuously, and the light to be intermittent, as in the kin- etoscope, the image would be hardly visible. By this apparatus the posses- sor of any lime light or electric lantern can project on the screen, in view of any number of spectators, amy subject containing moving figures, which are represented in their natural motions. The apparatus takes any kinetoscope film. It is constructed of steel, gun metal and aluminum, and it is so com- pact as to go between the condenser and objective of an ordinary lantern. A French apparatus, operating almos+ on similar lines, has been exhibited with muchsuccessin London. In this device the photographs had been taken onacontinuous band at the rate, it is said, of 900 views per minute, and by means of an electric light these were

} shown life-size upon a large screen at

exactly the same rate, so that m chang- ing picture was produced alinost per- fect in its fidelity and naturalmess.

I was there- fore . .s sole 1.ence on two or three occa 9s, known most of the good conver lists and raconteurs of my time, | xcept perhaps, Robert Louis Stever . he was by far the best.

I understand that a biography of Mr. Spurgeon has lately appeared; but I have not seen it, and doubt if the author has preserved the following anecdote, which I venture to write down, as nearly as I can rem be. in his own words— “You wor/sat¥# ess what calling I wanted to folk % I wanted to be a whipper-i-- ct }] «ands. Yes; there was never atsvet tr where I was brought up with ut cv attending; and many a long run i b often across ploughed fields; and many atime I was alone at the death. I could not do it now’’—and then he looked at his ample waistcoat, and Jaughed. I never heard a more pleas- ant laugh, nor one more sympathetic and infectious. He continued:— “You wouldn’t guess how I came to be a smoker. When I was sixteen, I went to my father, and told him there was a vacancy, and that I should like to go in for it. ‘A vacancy for what?’ he asked, ‘For a whipper-in to the hounds, and I should be sure to get it.’ He answered. very solemnly, ‘Charles, my son, you shall be a whipper-in of souls;’ and he sent me down into the Fen country to preach in the villages. When I came home I developed a violent cold, with a good deal of fever, and some twinges of rheumatism. I toid my father all my ex- periences—how I had been received—~hew they had crowded in; but there was one thing in particular I dwelt on. I had observed in every cottage that the old people sat in the chimney corners, and that the table before me was ornamented with two long pipes crossed, between twe jars of tobacco and two hymn books. At one of these meetings, just as I was about to speak, an old man took up and filled a pipe, and then, drawing a hot cinder from the fire, proceeded to offer it to me. I gave him a look, intended to wither him up. for I allowed no levity’’—here another laugh. ‘‘ ‘I see,’’ said my father, ‘how you have acquired that heavy cold.* When I was better, I started on’ another tour; but before I left home my father said, in his most impressive tones, ‘Charles, my son, if they fill and light a pipe for you, smoke it; if they don’t, £1 and light for yourself. And, in any case, don’t keep them from their tobacco. In that climate and at this time of year, smoking is your best protection against feverish colds.’’’—The Realm.

Sheeting From an Elephant.

The elephant’s howdah is that bed of Procrustes, in which one can neither sit nor stand with any approach te reasonable ease, and in which a re- cumbent attitude is impossible. Its advantages are: First, tht standing in it, a man can shoot on every side of him; second, that it is convenient for the carriage of the occupant’s para- phernalia— his guns on racks on either side, his wmmunition in a trough in front, his ®ther requisites in leather pockets here and there on the sides of the machine, and his bed blanket on the seat; and third, that in a hinder compartment an attendant can stand to hold that monstrous umbrella over his head, or when quick loading is re- quired, take from his hand the gun just fired and recharge it. These are the udyantages; otherwise the howdah is

an abomination.
