HE DAILY BRITISH WHI TORAMLED INTO CAVEITHE SALES KEPT UP AND BROUGHT OUT UNFORTUN- ATE HUMAN INMATE be Placed in Asylum--He Calls Himself the Divine ; On Wednesday The Whig had an article ' concerning. a man by the name of Richard Henderson, who bad met with an accident several years ago while lumbering, by a tree falling and injuring his skull and = effecting his mind, For a long time he has roam- ed about the woods in the vicinity of Perth road, on the north shore of of Loughboro lake. This unfortun- ate harbors the thought that he is the Divine and calls himself Jesus Christ. People in that seetion of the country say that In the morning this cave man would come from his abode in the hill and raising his arms aloft, will crow like a rooster, At other periods of the day was heard barking like a dog. After living in this condition so long, and looking to nature to provide him a living, he has now begun to show signs of ani- mal nature and the residents have at last come to the peint where they deem it wise to have thé authorities take the cave 'man in charge and place him in an asylum. On Thursday Dr. Freeman, one of the two doctors who were called upon to test the man's mentality, went into the cave and found him without any fire. At the mouth of the cave there was a snowdrift which extended several feet into if and cov- ered the floor to about a depth of four inches. Dr. Freeman crawled {nto the cave and found the man in one corner, huddled up and appar- ently sleeping. The doctor brought the man to the exterior, where he was found to be a peculiar looking object, with his hair hanging down his back and; his whiskers looking as though they had never been cut. The man was later placed in a spe- cial room, where he will be detained until medical examination is com- pleted. He will then be placed in an asylum. Flooded With Sand Prince Bdward county is gradually getting swamped by the sand that is drifting up every. yeirs in" great- er volume from Lake Ontar'o. The county council has just memoralis- ad the provincial legislature to have the area reforested in order to pre- vent the further encroachment up- on the africuttural land of the affected district of east of Welling- ton. Prince Edward has been rath- er proud of these great sand dunes and the strange natural phenomen- on they presented; but when "it comes to giving up farm buildings, orchards, and choice land fo the ever advancing drifts of white sand -- well, the phenomenon comes a little expensive. If the government undertakes the reforesting of this barren area the experiment will be watched with great interest. At this distance it would looke ik a pretty tough proposition for - the forestry experts. Pm in Concert Held By W. CO. T. U, The W. C. T.

In former years the offen- sive comics and large lace afiaira held full sway, while to-day none of these are seen in any of .the firat- class stationers; their place has been taken by enclosure eards, booldets, pictures, ete., as beautiful in their de- sign and original in their sentiment as the Christmas lines. As regards a dropping off in sales wo are pleased to advise that our sales for this season have heen more than double those of last year and we have been obliged to - wire two large repeat orders. We have sup- plied Valentine table decorations for over twenty difierent parties for Mon- day next, included in which is one of over four hundred guests.--Yours, THE COLLEGE BOOK STORE. med / GRAND OPERA HOUSE The Edison Talking Pictures Create Much Interest Edison's marvellous talking pictures created great interest at' the Grand Opera House last evening.

Those of Mr. Walter's plays, "The Easiest Way," "Paid in Full" and the "Wolf," have already been presented in Lon- don and not with considerable sue- he residence of Dr. and Mrs, C. C.

Heavy Mail Delivery A rather unusual sight + was wit nessed on, Wing street, between Brock and. Princess :strects, on Friday morsi- ing.

Get Rid of » i B age The worst feature of bronchitis is the tendency to return year after year until the system is worn out and gives way to consumption, - or other ravaging disease. Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine owes much of its great popularity to the fact that it posi- tively cures bromchitjs. and this is about as sevére a test as canbe made of a medicine of this kind. . Mr. W.-H. Walker, Calmar, Alta,, writes: *"I am pleased to say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine has done much good to nyself, wife and children. My eldest girl, seven. years, bronchitis, and the doctor who atfended her did not seem to do much good. We got Dr, Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur pentine for her and she soon got well. We always keep this mi ne in the housed now ready for use, and find that it soon cures coughs and In fighting. dfseases of the throat and lungs the battle is in have civilized land. ---------------- DEATH IN JEWELLER'S HOUSE ------ But the "Deceased" Was Only Tom Cat. "Whisper ! Who mailed the dead cat ?" comes from the Toronto de: partment of the new parcel post sys tem, for it has a mystery to solve. Someone, using a fictitious name and address on the corner of the package, mailed a dead tom-eat to a promine ent legal gentleman of that city. The "remains" are mow in the dead letter office there, where they are guarded from the gaze oi the morbidly curi- OUSs. It is believed that there igt King#- ton connection to this story® A Whig young man who "had one slipped over him" on Friday morning, be- lieves that jhe will bring to justice the person who mailed the package in Toronto. This morning the reporter walked intb one of the local jewellery stores and enquired of 'one of the proprie- tors. if it was true that there had heen a death in his family. A hearty laugh followed, and the seribe thought that the interviewed joweller was rather too jolly consid- ering 'that hie had been bereaved. Tt was soon learned that the death had been that: of a pet cat, which had beén ill. for some time. Whe joweller bad 'phoned a local livery: man, askiog 'him if he would be the undertaker. The reporter' took the joke in good part, but promises developments. is understood «that the body of the dead cat has disappeared. a-------- 14th Regimental Shooting ' The following" were the scores, out of a possible 28; of ldth Regimental company ~ shooting at" the armouries on" Thursday night = "@" company--Lient, T. 27¢ Pte.
