omnlons in 1882 and has been regularly
re-elected since. From the Brst he was
held in high regard in the councils of the
Conservative party to whom his death
will be a. great loss. As a militia odlcer
he served in the Fenian troubles on the
Niagara frontier in 1886, and during the
Nprtllwcct Rebellion cf lass. In less lic
commanded the Wimbledon team, and he
was attached to the Canadian Contin-
gent at the Queen`s Jubilee in 1897. He
was 56 years of age.

Each of the Canadian Contingents has
receivedafull meed of praise for their
services in South Africa. How Lord _
_ Roberts praised the First Contingent and
|_ the Mounted Rifles we all know, and now
General Buller has issued a special order
eulogising Strathconafs' Horse. And
there was the famous “record march" of
the Canadian Artillery for the relief of
Mafcking. Surely all Canadians must be '
I proud of what our"boys have accomplished 'f'
in South Africa.
At length they are beginning to think

_ .-v.,\-vs,-\.~.~v-.~_-e/\ Nvvv ------------------ - .
The facts collected by the Weather~
Bureau show that the loss of life by light-
ning in the United States last year was
greater than in any year since statistics _
began to be collected. Five h\U1dl‘¢d *md
sixty-two persons were killed instantly
or suffered injuries from which death
soon resulted, and 820 persons were
injured, many of them suffering from
physical shock, others from painful
burns and others from temporary Dir-
alysis of some part of the body. The most
common form of injury resulting from
lightning seems to be the paralysis of
arms or legs. In Professor Henry’s report
on the casualties of the year he says there
were some remarkable escapes from death.
In some cases the clothing of the person
struck was set on fire and the body WBS
seared or burned; however, complete re-
covery followed.
It is not easy to explain how these per-
sons escaped death, and there is still
much uncertainty as to the maximum
voltage that can be applied to thehuman
body without fatal result. In some cases
of death the body of the person struck
showed no external marks of the dis-
charge and death seems to have resulted
from complete collapse of the _cellular
tissues. In many cases, howev er,” the
cause of death was made apparent by the
discoloration and burning of various
parts of the body. One singular case
was that of two brothers who were killed
while driving together in a. dog-cart.
They were found lying side by side on
the roa.d,justa.sthey had fallen out- of
the back of the vehicle. The elder
brother had no external sign of injury.
The skin of the younger brother was
burned in a. number of small circular
holes over the chest and abdomen and
the back was burned from the neck to the
hips. Phe metalliccollar stud was fused
and the skin beneath it was deeply
burned. The waistcoat and shirt were
charred, but the coat was uninjured. No
be seen. _ t
I ‘It is usually suppossed that the _damage
is_;j__done by a single bolt, but it is often
'dlmcult to explain the casualties on this
theory. This in one case last year a
span of horses attached to a. wagon and a
mm in the rear of the wagon were killed,
the horses and the man, was not seriously
hurt. This case. and others of a similar

hloodless from their birth. Many others SUMMERSIDE MARKETS'
have their blood and nerves exhaust-
ed, and their systems broken down by
the ravages of disease, or as the re-
sult of over-study at school.
Dr. Cha_se’s Nerve Food is the ideal
treatment for children. It supplies the
very elements which are lacking ln the
pale, weak, and nervous. It restores
the cc-lour and richness to the blood,
lnvlgorates the nerves, and builds up
measles, scarlet fever, and such all-‘
ments, it is of incalculable worth.
Mrs. Stephen Dempsey, Albury, P, E,
county, Ont., writes:-“ My little grand- 1
daughter, nine ,vears old, was very psig
and weak, and had no appetite. she
had 8. tired, wornout appearance, and

It has helped her very much. She is _

Here are some precautions that are re-
commended during thunderstorms. Per-
sons in a house should avoid chimneys
and open windows. The safest place is
probably the middle of the room. In the
open, persons should never seek the
shelter of trees. Wire fences and live
