The Turks are constructing fortification in violation of the Berlin Treaty. The Greeks are indignant that Christian nations should submit, and an impression is gI‘OWiuL’; that to gain their own ends they will submit to almost anything Russia is reported to be urging on the Turks, and offering financial assistance believing that one battle would so cripple Greece that she could then call off the Turks and force Greece to~accept whatever terms she would offer. The Inllowing description of Ath- ens, gFt'en by Mr. Frank G. Carpen- ter. in "The Flaneur” page of the Saturday Mail will be interesting to some :--â€"~" The Athens of today is a modern city. It has wide street-s paved with cobble-stones, and its houses are much like the three and four-storey flats of some parts of Paris. Its peOple dress as we do. There are carriages with liveried coachmen. and there is as much style in Athens as in any part of Euroue. The better classes of the modern Greeks have as good homes as peogile of the same class in the United States. They are well dress- ed and well educated, The most of them speak a half a dozen different languages, though French is the society language of the Greek capit- al. There is an Athens University with nearly 2on students and ninety-j eight professors. There are in? addition to this thirtyrthree other' colleges in Greece containing nearly: A‘A- Serious damage by floods is repoted from Brantford and Glenwilliams.

Contrary, we believe, to the ex- pectations of both political parties, Mr, Guite, the liberal candidate, was elected in Bonaventure last week. gThe Liberal party claim this as a i“ great victory over clerical domin- ation ” while the Conservatives re- gard the government pull and the Baie des Chaleur Railway influence as the trump card in the game. The majority was over 800. The Montreal Daily Star of Thursday the 18th says :-â€"“ The part of the Baie des Chaleur Railway in the contest was a large one ; its extension was distinctly pledged by the Liberals. Mr. Cyr, the Conservative candidate, made disapproval of the school question aleading issue. There is reason to believe that considerable money was used to influence voters and talk of protest is heard.” a year or two later that they think there is nothing unusual in the fact that after holding the reins of power for 18 years a political party in Canada has been obliged to resign them.” Speaking of the papal able gate he says “everyone speaks of him as a man eminently fitted for the task which has been assigned to him, and he believes he will come to Canada determined to investigate matters and settle them in a manner which will be satisfactory to every one.” We doubt this very much, as pepular feeling goes at present. Sir Donald Smith, High Commis- ioner, who returned from England last week says :-â€"-“ Canadian matters in England are beginning to attract a great deal of attention. England is becoming very deeply interested in her colonies and particularly Canada. The change of government in Canada has not excited the English peOple very much. They are so used to putting a party in power to turn it out again in a few months or perhaps a fine polytechnic institute, an academy of science, several good libraries and a large national muse- um. The Greeks have as good a postal service as you will find any- where.’ There are many book stores and the displays of goods in the store windows are quite as fine as those of any American city.” THOROUGHBRED HEREFORD Ball for Service at lot 68, con. 3, :“AL PROSPECTUS Bull for Service.

Miss Sarah Jack has lived with relatives in far- away Minnesota. She arrived in Durham on Saturday and was out to Zion on Sunday, looking as bonnie and blithe as ever. She was one of our most popular maidens, hence, got a host of hearty greetings at the kirk. All are glad to welcome her back. WE CLAIM there is only one preparation in Canada toâ€"day that is guaranteed to cure BRONCHITIS, and that is DR. CHASE'S SYRUP 0F LINSEED AND TURPENTIHE. It is MOTH- ER'S cure for her' child when it is all stuffed up with GROUP and coughing its little lungs out with WHOOPING COUGH. One small dose immediately stops that cough. By loosening the phlegm, puts the little one to sleep and rest. Dr. Chase compounded this valuable syrup so as to take away the un- pleasant taste of turpentine and linseed. WE OFFER to refund the price if Dr. Chase's Syrup will not do all that it is claimed to do. Sold on a guarantce at all dealers, or Edman- son, Bates Co., 45 Lombard St. Price, 25c.
