The finest foad for making strength of bone, muscle und nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker Oats is the best because it is pure, no husks or stems or black specks. Farm- ers' wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Oats they accomplish a double result; the men go to their work with greater vigor and the expense of such feeding is less than with other foods. 16 DANDRUFF CAUSED 'BY -GERM. A A New Discovery That Kills the Germ and Prevents Baldness. Pretty nearly all the hair prepara- tions for dandruff have some merit in allaying itching of the scalp, and hting a fairly good dressing for hair, but there is only one that egonizes what causes dandruff, falling hair, and baldness, 'and that destroys the cause, a little germ--and that is Nowbro's flerpicide. This germ eats it® way into the scalp, iv«digs up the sealp nto irttle white "scales. Unless it fie destroyed there's no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dandrul¥ and haldnese.

Such freights will go straight down the river into Mont- real and Oswego will merely have the pleasure of seeing them go past its port instead of making dock there for transshipment. There is no policy that has less of wisdom in it on our part than to spend a lot of money for western traffic to get into Lake Onm- tario. We shall Jose sight of it migh- ty quick after it gets into that inland sea." : The state of New York is putting over an hundred millions of dollars into the new Erie canal, with the idea that the trade of the lakes can be di- 'verted by it to New York. This will be in vain. The trade follows the mgst direct route. Alresdy this sea son over sixty per cent. of the grain has passed down the Canadian chan- nels for Europe, and this despite the cut rates of the American shippers in the hope of attracting freights. The future will see this Canadian trade still further developed. A good deal depends, of course, upon the en- largement of the Canadian canals; and the government is aware of this and appears to be laying its plans ac- cordingly. DANGERS, OF FOOTBALL. The football season is on, and it observed that provement in the game, as the result of recent changes in ihe rules, There is, we ara.told, a further development of the forward pass and the omsido kick, but on the word of Walier Camp, authocity, "'an improve so far as brutality and arc concerned, is still going on." Football is not ranked with Dockoy for the probabilities of accident, The speed of the hockeyist, and the aptful use of his stick, make for the paralysis of an opponent, and the fatalities df last year called the revision of the rules to the might bo had is there has been an im- an American ment of the game danger for end that some regard for life and limb. i The footballer, who is big and mas- sive and turbulmt, who moves on the masses with giant strides, who mows down or dislodges every impodimehit in human form, is the hero of the day.

' LIFE IN THE FAR NORTH. Vivid Description of It By Cook. i New York Herald. | A visit was made to the town of} Oomanooi. There were seven triangu-| Jar. sealekin tents, conveniently placed on picturesque rocks. Gathered about these, in large numbers, were men, Wo- mon and children, shivering in the midnight chill. » : They" were odd looking specimens of humanity. In height the men aver- aged but five feet two inches and the women four feet ton inches. All had broad, fat faces, heavy trunks and well rounded limbs. Their skin was slightly bronzed. Men and women had coal black hair and brown eyes. The nose was short, and the hands and feet were short but thick. A genial woman was found at every tent opening, ready to receive the visi- tors in due form. We entered and had n short chat with each family. There was not much news to ex- change. After we had gone over, the list of marriages and deaths, of the chase became the topic of con- versation. 'It was a' périod of monogamy: Myah had exchanged a plurality of wives for uo larger team of dogs, apd there was but one other man in the tribe with two wives. Women were rather scarce. Scveral marriageable men were forced to fore- go the advantages of married life be- cause there wero not enough wives for all. By mutual agreement several men had exchanged wives; in other cases women had chosen other partners, and tho changes were made seemingly to tho advantage of all, for no regrets were expressed. With no law, no literature and no fixed! custom to fasten the matrimoni- al bond, these simple but intelligent people control their destinies with re- markable success. There was an average of three fat, clever children for each family, - the youngest, as a rule, resting in a pocket on the mother's back. The tent had a raised platform, upon which all slept. The cdge of this made a seat, and on each side wera placed stone lamps, in which blubber was burned, with moss as a wick. Over this was a drying rack, and there was other furniture. The dress of furs gave the Eskimos a look of savage fierceness which their kindly faces and easy temperament did not warrant. On board the yacht there had been days of barter. Furs and ivory: had been gathered in heaps in' exchange for guns, knives and needles. Every sea- man, from cabin boy to taptain, had suddenly got rich in the gamble of trade for prized blue fox skins and narwhal tusks, The Eskimos ' wore equally elated with their end of the bargain. For a beautiful fox skin, of less nse to a na- tive than a dog pelt, he has secured a pocket knife that would serve him half a lifetime, A woman had pants, worth a hundred dollars, for a red pocket handkerchief, with which she would decorate her head and igloo for years to come. Another had given for needles, her bearskin mits and conveyed the idea that she had the long end of the trade. A fat youth, with only a smile, displayed with glee two bright tin. cups, one for himself and one for his prospective bride. All of this glit- ter had been received in exchange for an ordinary ivory horn worth about ninety dollars. of | shall | people in Toronto wanted to burn him | in effigy, i T. P.

The professor held to his opinion, although i was shown by sworn evidence that Bet- termann had declared after his arrest that 'vf people are so stupid I do not understand why 1 should not exploit them." In consequence of Professor Aschaf- [emburg's testimony, the court acquit- ted Bettermann, .but his accomplice, Schmidt, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment.

Watertown, N.Y., Standird. y An interesting legal-religious ruling has been made by a New Bediord, Mass., judge to the effect that the conversation between a. penitent and the spiritual adviser in the confes- sional is not "privile ed." ~The court directed that the witness on the stand (the wife) repeat the words of .the conversation in the con- fessional. Counsel for the priest ob- jected on the ground that custom had always regarded such conversations las "privileged." The court stated | phat there was no law in _Massachu- setts making such a conversation a privileged; one and' compelled the wit- ness to answer. She told her story which was to the effect that the priest had advised her that, shé was not married, that she was living in ocontubinage and that her husband, under the circumstances, could at any time go away and marry another woman. She was advised to tell her husband to come to the church and he married or to leave him. The hus- '| band refused' on the ground that . he was legally married under the law of "Jock strops" and athletic support- ers for football players.

In districts where the old theory of administration--that the condition of the pauper sheuld be a little less comfortable 'than the laborer outside of the workhouse--has been preserved, there has even been a slight fall in the proportion of pauperism to the populaticn. "In districts. where the so- cialists are in control and the policy has been to make the pauper far more comfortable than he could hope to be if he worked for his living, there bas been' a remarkably rapid rise. Most of the reports received from the agents of the local government board comment on the increase in' vagrancy, and some of them give really alarm- ing figures, but it is pointed out by the compilers that these figures are altogether unreliable, and that a uni: form system of reckoning must be adopted. Thus, for instance, one in- spector who deals with three or four counties gives the number of vag- rants admitted in a year to the casu- al wards in his district as 206,094, while another refers to the admission of 3,809 as "a sad phase of the pro blem,"" and declares that there are 12,369 vagrant women in his distriet. Now, as a matter of fact, the number { of vagrants leeping in all the casual wards of the country seldom exceeds 12,000 on any one' night, of whom about 1,000 are women and 400 chil- dren, IV must be remémbered that the tramps are like a stage army. They ara cBunted over and over again. Ten {ramps passing from casual ward to casual ward and being counted in cach will" figure as 2,500 persons in the course of the year. This is one of the things that Mr. Burns has set out to reform. Ho realizes that he must have accurate figures showing what the problem is before he works out a _comprohensive plan to deal with it, and I am now told that he is working on a plan by which all the vagrants of the country will be registewed and furnished with indetity tickets. Thus a man going on a tramp will have to show his ticket and toll where he slept. thy night beforo when he ap- plies at 'a casual ward for shelter, and in this way it will be possible 'to avoid counting him many times in the course of tho year, It will also be possibile by this means to separate the habitual 'ramp from the honest work- ingman who is making his way from town {lo town in search of a job. Another plan which has heen sug gested (0 Mr. Bums is based on the system of travelling tickets in vogue in the American trades unions. Eng lish labor organizations will bo asked to furnish their members whe. are compelled to take to the road in search of work, with similar tigkets, which. they will be asked to have vised by the scerotaries of the local branches at the towns at which they stop. It will thus be possible to get some idea of the number of working: men on the road, amd the reasons which compelled them to adopt this made of - life, Le Expels The Poisons.

Ottawa Citizen, On Thursday of last weck a Cana ian steamer with 200 passengers on ard was attempting to run the Long Sault rapids, when the rudder chains broke and the boat was luck- ily beached without further aceident. Some of the passengers were so badly frightened that they loft the boat and walked a long distance before they se- cured a conveyance to finish their journey. ta Montreal. Instead of the captain: transferring his passengers, the rudder chain' was patched up apd the steamer made another attempt to o through these dangerous rapids. n the worst part of the run the rud der chain parted again and the steams er, 'after being buffeted about amid dangerous rocks, luckily grounded on a rocky beach and the passengers were this time landed and sent to Montreal at the company's expense. It is fur ther said that a similar accident hap- pened to. this boat a comparatively short time ago. Fortunately no lives have been Jost as a result of these accidents, but there must be sbmo- thing radically wrong with the gov ernment inspection 'when a boat with such flimsy rudder chains is allowed to carry hundreds of passengers down one of the most dangerous navigable rapids in the world. Any boat run- ping the St. Lawrence rapids should at least have sound rudder chains, and that two accidents to this part of the gear*should not have been sufficient warning to deter the officers from risk: ing the lives of 200 passengers points to the need of investigation. It is per haps needless to nofe that investiga tions that prevent disasters are much more valuable than those which suc- ceed them. & is B. A. Hotel Arrivals. George Jackson, W. A. Shaw, J, H.
