'everywhere. He joined the colors at Picton on October 7th, and afterwards when the 80th Battalion was mobilized at Belleville, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Ketcheson, he was transferred there where he spent the winter in pre- paring for active service. He was tall and handsome in ap- pearance, quiet and retiring in dis- position, was most exemplary in his conduct, and thoroughly devoted to his duties as a soldier. He was high- ly esteemed by his officers and com- rades and was accorded one of the inrgest military funerals ever seen in Belleville. Two sergeants accom- panied his remains to Stella. A large number of sorrowing friends and relatives followed all that was mor- tal of the young soldier from the Anglican church to Glenwood ceme- tery. He was the first to enlist and the first to be called, we trust and believe, to higher service. May his exemplary life, his patriotic spirit and devotion to duty prove an inspir- atior. and worthy example to ur young men. >. We tender our deepest sympathy. to his father, who has also joined the colors, to his sorrowing mother, and sisters 'and brothers. Signed on behalf of the council: David Caughney, Reeve; Willlam H.

When the stomach is unable to perform the work nature calls for, the result is severe pains after eat. ing, nausea, heartburn, fluttering of the heart, sick headache, and often a loathing for food, though the suffer- }| er is really half starved. People with §| poor digestion, too, frequently try all sorts of experiments to aid the | Process of digestion, but there is jonly one way in which the trouble can actually be cured, that is through the blood. That is why the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' In proof of these statements, Mrs. Albert Hall, Sonya, Ont., says: "I have used Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills with wonderful re- sults. For two years 1 was a great sufferer from indigestion, which al- most made me a physical wreck. At times my sufferings were so great {that I was unable to attend to my household duties. I had smothering spells at times and was afraid to lle down to rest. After every meal, no matter how sparingly I ate, I suffer. ed great distress. I tried seversl doctors but their medicine was of no avail. I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills {advertised to cure this trouble and | decided to try them. I had pot been taking them long when I felt some- | what improved. This improvement continued, and after taking ten boxes | 1 could eat and digest all kinds of | food and felt better than I had done | for years.

American Ethnology, Dr. Waiter E. b, who has long been a resident of British Guiana and a student of its glnes, writes of the religious mythological beligfs/ of the Guiana Indians of Northern South America, and the adjacent isles. He makes public some startling facts concerning many practices of these Indians particularly as to the eating of flesh of deceased persons, hy way of a funeral ceremony and as a means of adding to their own spirit- ual prowess and earthly virtues. This practice, mentioned by the author, consists of the cating of a part of the corpse, or the drinking of & preparation made from it, or the bones, which was believed by the na- tives to endow them with the immor- tal spirits and virtues of the deceas- ed, as well as to strengthen their own courage and contempt for death, An. other custom practised was the disin- terment of bodies and the distribu- tion of their bones for use in witch- craft, prophecy, or preservation in the form of a memorial. Like most Indians, the natives of Guiana had no idea of a supreme "e- ing of their own, but adapted terms to express the same, within modern times, The author discusses tribal heroes, cults, creation, spirits, dreams, natural history, omens, charms, talismans, animism, or the doctrine of souls and other spiritual beings, and folk tales. It is the belief of the Guiana In- dians that man was either brought here from cloud-land, the skies, or the land beyond, or was created here from animals, such as jaguars and snakes, or from plants and rocks. On the other hand; a cycle seemed to exist, for certain plants and animals were belleved to spring from human beings or their spirits. The human body had many associated spirits, and was originally considered immor- tal, being renovated by a mythical changing of the skin, based on the belief that creatures undergoing what is scientifically termed ecdysis, the act of molting or shedding the outer cuticular layer, lived forever. Amalivaca, the great hero of the Tamanacs and Carfbs, known over a region of more than 5900 Spanish square leagues, or 13,000 square miles, and cherished as a founder and teacher rather than the Great Spirit, is said to have told them on his departure that they would change their skins and remain young like snakes, but one doubting old woman exclaimed "Oh!" which annoyed Amalivaca so much that he told her she would die, Later, however, it is reported that these natives lost their ability to change their skins and en- Joy everlasting life, on account of the bad condition into which they bad | fallen, this accomplishment being | bestowed on those creatures which | now cast their skins, The spirits of the may have emanated corpses, or those of animals birds, or even sprung into spontaneously, have strange powers bush, which from human and | being | | They | are very shrewd, being able to bring the dead to life, or perform other | kindnesses, and although they gener- | ally prefer mischief, it is often the | native's own fault; besides which | they cause all accidents and mishaps | of daily lite, { These bush spirits are said to be | excellent hunters, fond of tobaceo | and of human flesh, especially that of | Women and small children... With all their remarkable powers and abili- ties, they are, nevertheless, very sen- sitive and cannot endure being mim- icked or chaffed. It is believed best by the natives to leave these bush spirits strictly to themselves, as they bring only harm in the long run, bat it circumstances force one into their Presence certain dances accompanied by music may be rendered, or for- mulas recited, which drive them away. The natives prefer, however, never to travel singly, fearing an en- counter with evil spirits Besides the bush spirité" there are many others, including the spirits of the moun- tain, water, and sky, and in connec- tion with each, the author quotes re- markably vivid dnd interesting stories and legends, many of which are still believed by the natives of this section of Northern South Am- ENEMY LOSSES.

GIANT PLANES A MYTH They Have Never Been Met With On Battle Front Paris, Aug. 5.--Giant German bi- planes, it was officially anounced by the French War Department to- day, are a myth, and in any case they have never: been met with on the battle front. The statement adds: "It is certain, however, that Ger- many has built biplanes of an ex- ceptional size and power to be used as hydro-aeroplanes. One of these is 23 meters (75 feet) across, with four motors, and able to carry six passengers. Another, 42 meters (137 feot) across, with three motors of 200 horsepower each, is said to have been constructed .at Freidrichshaven and to have flown over Lake Con- stance. If so these experiments must have had bad results, for the ma- chine nowhere has been met." eS ---------- To Trinity College School Cobourg, Aug. 5.--Rev. R. 8.
