Farmers' Delegates Pressing For Low Tariff -- Lennox and Frontenac Men Were Heard. In response to the invitation for opinions from the farmers' interests, Messrs. Dawson Kennedy, Peterboro; IN. I. Rogers, ex-M.P.; and J. A. Wilmot, Frontenac, and W. R. Lott, Lennox county, appeared at Peterboro before the Tariff Commission on ! Thursday. Mr. Kennedy cmphasized the basic importance -of the agricul- tural interests in Canada, and strong- ly endorsed the views presented to the commission by the Ontario Farmers' Association and the Dominion Grange. He believed nearly every farmer in Peterboro county was in favor of a tarifi for revenue onmly. W. R. Lott, speaking for farmers of Lennox tounty, declared that present- day conditions in industrial and agn cultural matters amply justified a re- duction in the tarifi and the abandon- ment of the protective policy. li, as liberal economists declared, some years ago, the times called for 5 re- duction of the tarifi then, now, with factories filled with workmen and manufacturers = growing rich, surely the argument for lower tariis held with much greater force. But if the government. were consistent in advo- cating and maintaining the protective system, the same | rotection might be given to the farmers' produets,. in the shape of woul and hides. Mr. Brodeur Has the rural popula- tion of Lennox county been decreas- ing ? Mr. Lott--Yes,. people are. leaving the farm#® and going to the cities or to the North-West. Mr. Fielding--But they are still staying in Canada and probably bet- tering their condition. Mr. Lott thought that a duty of fifteen per cent. might be placed upon wool and fifteen per cent. on the finished product. That would give the farmer a share in the protection Mr. Fielding®™Do you think that if the woollen manufacturer has to 'pay fifteen per cent. on his raw material, and if the cost of labor, ete., is much cheaper in foreign countries, he can do business at a profit ? They say they can't make a profit even now with a free raw material Mr. Lott was driven to the conclus- ion that some of the factories would have tq close up. All duty remoyed from agricultural implements and pro ducts was his idea of what the pa- triot farmers' stand should he. In point of numbers he thought that the sugar beet raisers were not of. suffi- cient importance to warrant giving them protection at the expense of the general consumer. Sugar beet raising was not practical jn Lennox or other similar districts where labor was scarce. "You heard me in my weak efforts along these same lines of tarifi for revenue only while I was in. the house at 'Ottawa for five years,' said David Rogers, late patron member for Fréit tenac. He begged to state that his views had not changed. He noted that on two thousand dollars' worth of agricultural implements on - his farm ne had to pay in duties at least $500, allowing for renewal of implements every year, he estimated that his an- nual customs tax on these alone was about £30. And that fairly represented what the average farmer had to pay. Farmers Highest Protectionists. Mr. Paterson drew attention to the fact that the farmers of the United States seemed to have appreciated even an extreme measure of protec- tion. "All combines and trusts and com- binations," said Mr. Rogers, "the real sentiment of the people if allowed free expression, would show disapproval of a high tarifi."" Mr. Fielding--The highest protec tionists we have met with on our tour have been farmers. Wo manufacturer asked for as high: protection as did classes of farmers. Wilmot, president of the Associdtion, of Frontenac county, concurred in the above ments of his brother-farmers. He thonght that if a farmer in his coun ty made two per cent. per year on his capital investment he was doing well Mr. Lott added that on an eighteen thousardd dollar farm in Lennox county where a strict account of revenues and KELPION. some John : 3 Farmers senti- | Why tax the system with {drugs to cure a purely local | blemish? 'KELPION, a stainless Iodine ointment, externally expenses had been kept, the net re turns had only averaged $500 per year, not allowing anything for labor done by 'the furmer Himself or his family, and allowing nothing for in- terest on capital investment. The price of farm land in Lennox county, he added, was less now than it was twenty years ago. Mr. Paterson drew the attention of the deputation to the imperative need of considering in any tarifl revision the interests of the hundreds of thou- sands of workmen employed in the factories of Canada. 1f anything be done to jeopardize the interests of the manufacturers, their employees might be thrown out of employment, and the result would be disastrous to the whole country. All interests must be carefully considered. Actual conditions had to be taken into account, as well as economic theories. How was it, he asked, that prices of farm produce and of farm lands in the United States, where a high tarifi had been in force for years, were higher than in Can- ada under a relatively low tariff ¥ Were these higher prices not due to the large home market in great in- dustrial cities: and towns ? The low tarifi advocates admitted that the home market in the States was responsible for good prices to the farmers. Mr. Paterson left them tp apply the argument to the question as to whether or not a protective tariff would benefit the Canadian farmer. RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS Will Find a Certain Cure in the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism is a disease of the blood. Every doctor now admits this to be the fact. Doctors used to think that rheumatism was brought on by colds in the. joints and muscles. Now they know that cold never started the discase-- cold only sets the pains go- ing. Rheumatism can only be cured by curing the bad blood which causes it. Dr. Wi'liams' Pink Pills always cures rheumatism, because they actually make new, rich red blood, which drives out the poisonous acids, loos- ens the stiffened aching joints and muscles and restores the rheumatic sufferer to health and happiness. Dr. Williams" Pink Pills have cured thous- wands and thousands of rheumatic suf- ferers, some of them when they were almost hopeless cripples. T. H. Smith, Caledonia, Ont:}"says: "For a number of years | was badly troubled © with rheumatism, and was so crippled 1 could scarcely do any work, I tried quite a number of medicines, but they did not help me. Then | saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised as a cure for this trouble, and got a sup- ply. After 1 had taken a. few boxes I saw they were helping me, and I con- tinued taking (the pills throughout the winter, and am now completely cur- ed. I have since worked out of doors in cold weather without a coat, and did not feel even a twinge of the trouble." If you are suffering from any dis- ease due to bad blood or disordered nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure you, because they make new, rich' blood, which goes right to the root of the disease and drives it from the system. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink" Pills cure such troubles as anaemia, indigestion, palpitation of the heart, neuralgia, headaches and backaches, kidney and liver troubles, St. Vitus' Dance, paralysis, and the special secret ailments of girlhood and womanhood. But only the genuine pills can do this and these always have the full: name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on the wranper around each box.

He was also poet laureate for a few years. Browning waa anxious to express his resentment at what he considered Wordsworth's defection from the cause of liberty. THE ZAMBEZI BRIDGE. Highest In the World and Built of Stee! --Length 650 Feet. The Zambezi bridge, or the Victoria Falls bridge, as it is variously called, is a record bridge In many respects, saye J. Hartley Knight in the Engineer- ing Magazine for October. It is the highest --420 'feet--in the world, and it was built in the shortest time recorded for such a work--vis, nineteen weeks. Sir Charles Metcalfe also claimed that no other bridge of its size and capac- ity had ever been built so cheaply The total length of the bridge is 650 feet, of which the central span accounts for 500 feet between the pin centres on the two banks, the balance being made up of the two short spans. The great centre span rises in a graceful para- bolic arch to the centre, the spring of which, starts from the Rhases of the main booms. The vertical rise to the crown is 90 feet. The main span is made of twenty bays each 25 feet long, and lateral stability was secured by a wide spread at the feet of the bridge. At the rail level the distance between girder centres is IT feet § inches, whereas at the bases the width be- tween pin centres is 50 feet. The roadway projects beyond the side girders so as to allow a clear 3 feet between parapets. The bridge is of steel, and as It is costed with gray paint it is rendered as invisible as pos- sible against the cloud of spray--""the smoke that sounds," as the natives call it--that rises from the falls, and the undue obtrusion on the landscape which so many feared has thus been obviated. The Royal Yard-Arm. When Henry |. was king there were frequent complaints by both buyers 3 the varying number of inches to the yard, atéord- ing to the district and to the disposi- tion of the dealer. One day the King himself, in making a purchase of cloth, found cause for dissatisfaction on this account; and so, calling one of his courtiers to him, he bade him measure the length of his -- the King's--right arm. The man did so, and told him that it was exactly thirty-six Inches long; and Henry ordained on the spot that thenceforth that was to be the length of the standard yard; and so it has remained ever since. » Samuel Johnson's Preciseness. Goldsmith and Boswell and Johnson having met at the usual hour at the chop house, Boswell observed that he had just encountered the Prince of Wiles on the street "Do you think, asked Goldsmith, turning to Johnson, "that the Prince of Wales will ever be king? "It is impossible!" retorted the great doetor. "Utterly impossible!" "Why do you think 80? asked Bos- well. "Why, condemn you!" roared the doctor, getting red in the face. "Why, because, sir, the minute he gets to be king he ceases to be Prince of Wales." Some Table Lore.

Could a policeman be a woman? Are archbishops ladles? These two problems were propound- ed by Henry Labouchere in the British House of Commons during a debate on ) the perennial question of woman's sunr-! rage, at the last session. It is rarely that the House of Commons hears a witty speech, but for ever an hour the members held 'their sides with laugh- ter at the torrent of wit and humor which "Labby" delivered on bn ib ject. It was the drollest speech heard in the House for many a year. Standing at the foot of the gangway, wearing his favorite cutaway coat of blue, of a cut, color and style lly old ed, the editor of Truth poked ridicule at the bill to grant the right of parlia- mentary votes to women until the measure was effectually put to death, "When you argue with a itera Stromn begin to realize how she differs a man" he sald in an attempt to de- pict what would happen if lady legis lators sat in the House, as the proposer of the measure suggested. "Men are very weak tn regard to women. If a male and a female mem- ber of the House rose to speak simul- taneously the man would always chiv- alrously give way no matter what his politics. "And supposing that a man ltved with his wife!"--the House as almost convulsed with merriment at the sup- position--*"and they were both members of Parliarhent, the husband, after ls- tening to his wife maundering along in this chamber, would return home to go through it all again!

LABBY POKED RIDICULE. | Donkey as Doctor. The donkey was a famous old-time medical charmer, particularly in dental troubles. Kissing a donkey, if done ac- cording to established formula, was ac- counted an unfailing cure for tooth- ache, and the proper way of doing it is explained in the Rev. Caesar Otway"s trial of an old Irishwoman for stealing a donkey, which she had borrowed to cure herself of a violent toothache. "Plase yer honor," she told the mag- tstrate, "Whin 1 got him" --1ie, the donkey--*"to my place, I held him by the halter just over the sill pf the door, his head above the lucky horse- shoe . . . and there I lifted up his upper lip and gave him three kisses on his teeth . . . and the pain left me, and I Jets him go, thinking as he knowed the way, and would have trotted back to his own home, and nobody be a bit the wiser." The method adopted for children teething was (and often Is still) generally to "pluck a few hairs from the cross on a donkey's back, and hang them in a bag round the neck of the child, which will then be proof against fits and convulsions." But the details of the process varied. A Surrey woman not long since asserted to a collector of information that she brought up eleven children without having any teething trouble with them, for upon the first symptom «f fretful- ness she went off early in the morning, borrowed a donkey, and set the child upon {ts back, with its face towards the tail, and then led the animal a short distance while she said the Lord's Prayer. Then, taking the child off, she kissed it, and sald, "God bless it"; and after that all signs of teething incon- venience disappeared." Crumbling of Gibraltar, The public is not aware that the great rock of Gibraltar is tumbling down; that its crumbling, rotting masses must be continually bound together with huge patches of masonry and cement Yet they who sall past Gibraltar can- not fail to notice on the eastern slips of the fortress enormous silver-colored patches gleaming in the sun. These patches, in some cases thirty or forty feet square, are the proof of¢ Gibral- tar's disintegration. Of thick, strong cement, they keep huge spurs of the cliff's side from tumbling into the blue sea Sea captains cruising in the Mediter- ranean say that Gibraltar has been rotting and crumbling for many years, but that of late the disintegration has gone on at a faster rate than hereto- fore. They say that the stone forming this imposing cliff is rotten stone and that in a little while the phrase, "The strength of Gibraltar," will be mean- ingless. Then peace will come. Wanted Hanging. Douglas Jerrold the famous humorist and satirist, and Henry Compton, the well-known comedian, figure in a cap- ital story told in a memoir of the lat- ter celebrity. The two men were on intimate terms of friendship and one moming went to view the pictures in a certain gallery. On entering the anteroom they found themselves oppos- ite a number of very long looking- glasses. Pausing before one of these, Compton remgprked to Jerrold: "You've come here to admire works of art. Very well, feast your eyes on that work of nature!" pointing to his own figure reflected in the glass, "Look at it, there's a picture for you!" "Yes," sald Jerrold, regarding it in- tently, "very fine indeed! Wants hang- ing, though!"
