APPEARED ON NECK, LEGS | 1 contested London and Kent ER LEE -- enti, CHARACT TICE M'MAHON, Se -- dious--How He Was Called. Lordship western court heard as she was: the eighteenth century?' '* ant for lawsuits traits did not affect her Judgment. One is not surprised when that Judge MicMahon's ancestors held prominent positions in Ireland during the trouplous times 'of last of the reigning Stuarts, that Colonel Art Oge MacMahon was James I1.°s Lod Lieutenant of Mon- a, and Hugh MacMahon was lieutenant-colonel of Gordon Q'Neil's Chartremont regiment in the famous Irish Brigade that, in the service of France, became renowned through- out Europe and redecmied the day at Fontenoy. The Celt is naturally a gentleman, and probably Mr. Justice MacMahon owes as much to his race as to his family. An Irish gen- Jtleman ®r a Highland. gentleman means mofe than the phrase an Eng- lish gentleman, It possibly requires a woman or the keenness of feeling of a fellow Celt to understand the distinction, but it exists. Beyond the fact that Hugh MacMahon wag a Nisi Prius lawyer of repute, this. to some ex- tent explains his call to the Su- perior Court bench by his old-time political opponent, Sir John A. Mac- donald. A Highlander, dominant as his nature may: be, never rules feud- ally. His dominance is patriarchal, and the story goes that when Hugh MacMahon, tired possibly of the monotony of practice in a Provincial town, with its only occasional op- portunities, had left London and was to some extent obscured in the wild rush of Western settlement in the early days of the Winnipeg boom, the old-time Conservative chief asked a Western man: 'How about Hugh MacMahon?" When the answer came \Sir John ejaculated; 'Imagine ugh Mac- Mahon playing the gamé of life in a Western land boom! Ridiculous!'* and ho sat down in his generous petu- lance and immediately wired: "Will you geospt a Superior Court Judgeship?" And the Provinte of Ontario has a Judge that not only brings to the Canadian bench an atmosphere of the courtliness of other days, but a Sourid lawyer and a man distinguish- ed by humane common sense. An old-time courtliness\ and a high sense of dignity are not inconsistent With modern conditions. When Mr. Justice MacMahon was conducting tho trial of Birchall and the little Court room of Woodstock was drowd- ed to suffocation, and the whole English-speaking world was to some extent interested in one of the most sensational murder trials in Cana- da's history, it was found that there was insufficient accommodation for the army of peoplé that took intense human interest in the progress of the case. Judge MacMahon's permission Was obtained, and telephone trans- mitters were so arranged that the testimony of witnesses, the addresses of counsel, and the charge of the judge to the jury could be heard in near-by rooms. There are very judges who can retain their dignity ond address a jury on a question of life and death with a telephone in close proximity in active operation on his desk, and there are still fewer Who would be as considerate, "No trial at any English assizes,"" said 'a representative Canadian jour- nal, "could have been conducted with a more admirable temper than that at Woodstock,' Judge MacMahon was born at Guelph, Ont., March 6, 1836, Critics of our Public school system might possibly find in Judge MacMahon's charm of manner and literary and artistic tastes an example of what the education of the schools 'can never give, but whether .it is die to the natural disposition of young MacMahon or the careful tutelage of a scholarly father, tho result has béen that Judge MacMahon is not only one of the broadest and widest read members of the Canadian bench, but also one of the keenest, if kind- liest, of art critics, After a short Service as a lad on an engineering survey of the proposed Ottawa Ship Canal and the Chats Rapids, he- en- tered upon the study' of the law, and was called to the Ontario bar in 1864, For five years he success fully practiced in Brantford, when he removed to London, Ont., and built up the largest practice in Western Ontario. In 1876 he was made a Q. C, by the Ontario Gov- ernment, and in 1883 by the Domin- ior: In 1877 he tepresented the Do- minion Government in the arbitra- tion on. what was called the One tario boundary question, and, with D'Alton McCarthy and Christopher Robinson, was counsel for the Do- Minion when the m, r came 'before the Privy Council Wiis, As Counsel for the prisoners in what was known as the Biddulph tragedy he had an opportunity of showing his high gifts--as a Nisi Prius and criminal lawyer, and secured an acquittal of his clients.

Pioneer Oantarie. Ontario, once a country of pines; feels something like an elderly woman in our great Northwest--who was a& young wife in the young West --who pays a hearty tribute to the hearth as she knew it sixty years ago. The coming: of the cooking stave marked the beginning of a new epoch in the lives of our grandmothers. ""Oh,'" exclaims this survivor, *'the good cheer the fireplace brought to the children! No corn was quite so good' as the ears roasted before the fire. No potatoes so good as those roasted in the ashes in the winter. No appl equal to frozen apples, boiled; them we would melt maple sugar and sugar off again on the snow." And she says in conclusion: 'With the passing of the fireplace has passed the word 'fireside' and the word 'hearth.' It was around the fireside we gathered for family prayer, around the fireside we gath- ered to read, to chat, to visit, Gone with the fireside and the hearth are most of my dear ores, with whom 1 knelt every day.' There wore no coal, wood or gas ranges in those days, but theve was a fireplace, with a wide, deep hearth --and a chimney that would draw built large enough for the sweep to pass through, The fireplace would take a log four or five feet long and a foot and a half through. This was piled on andirons and as there were no match- es in those days one oi the greatest anxieties of the careful housewife was to prevent the fire from going out. If it did go out she had to go to one of the neighbors, perhaps a quarter of a mile away, for a shovel- ful of live coals. One of the signs of neatness in a housekeeper in those days was the way she kept the hearth cleaned, us- ing-the broom and wing, and a few of her many duties were to dip can- dles, put down pork and beef by the barrel, make sausage for the year, put down lard by the jar, preserved fruits by the gallon, apple sauce by the quantity, boiled cider by the keg; to provide dried beef and smoked ham, to spin all the yarn for the men's clothes, to weave it into cloth, and to send it to the dyers to be dyed, fulled and pressed.

Kidney Disease Results From Codls Exposure of the Back to Drafts Not an Infrequent Cause of This Dreadfully Painful Ail- ment. The kidneys are very susceptible to cold, so much so that a current cold air on the back is sufficient cause' congestion of these organs. It is also a verv common thing for heavy colds to settle on the kidnevs and give rise to the mast complicated diseases, While teamsters, railrondmen and others whose work kubjects them to more than ordinary exposure are es pecially 'liable to be overtaken by kidney disease, it-is also frequent am- ong indoor workers, Dr. Chase's Kiduey-Liver of Pills are on the Kidoevs that they are especial ly valuable in cases of kidney disease which arise from eolds. or smarting when passing water, head- ache, cramps in the legs, constipa- tion alternating with looseness of the boweld, fickle anhetite, vomitine and general feelings of discomfort are am- ong the most common symptoms.

The books are kept in the chart room in a specially constructed metal case bored with holes. The books themselves have lead attached to them, "the idea beimy that if a ship was in danger of being captured or lost the officer in command, by throw ing the signal box and books over hoard, would insure their .not falling into proper hands.
