They were grown in the garden of Mrs. Wehber, of this town, who presented us with the curiosity of second-crop berries. There were about a dozen on the branch. all well formed and of excellent flavor. Think of ripe rasterries on the 4th of October. THE latest report is that the manu- facture of cement will commence about two weeks from Monday. The process in fact has already begun with the clay, a large quantity of which is being prepared now. The construction of the trestle work seems to be the greatest difficulty at present in the way, but a couple of weeks more will make a big advance- ment. A Listowel hunter tells a rather remarkable experience of his in the bush the other day. He was stand- ing on a rather high 109: waiting for a rabbit that his dog was running when a partridge started from cover near by. As he wheeled fora shot at the bird, the rabbit in springing over the log struch the huntsman and knocked him off the 109:. As he fell he shot .the lird clean with his right barrel and caught and killed the rabbit with his left barrel before either he or the rabbit had time to, reach the ground. This man is one of the best shots we have in town. but we know of two or three who can beat him lying.-â€"â€"Banner. train at Paris Station on Friday last, Patrick Doyle fell and had his left arm amputated between the elbow and the wrist. Mr. Doyle, who is a brother of Mrs. Peter O’Neil at P0- mona, was an employee of the Grand Trunk Railway Co. and had just re- his home at Paris. Miss Nellie O'Neil, a professional nurse here, and niece of the injured man, was telephoned for and left immediately to attend her uncle in his illness. .Vloxt readers know the case of the “ Man in the well ” at Paris. and it may be interesting to them to learn that the John Doyle who received the medal for his services at the time is also a brother of Mrs. O’Neil.

Cleveland. of Danville, Quebec, representing the J. L. Good- hue Leather Belt Manufacturing Co.. of that place, was in town Saturday and gave us a brief call.

During the balance of the present year there are Opportunities offered to each young man in Canada to ob- tain a “Young Man’s Investment Policy ” from the Imperial Life As- surance Company of Canada. Life is uncertain, and with an increase in age there goes an increase in the probability of ‘death, so that there should be no delay in taking advant- age of these opportunities as they present themselves. The security of the Imperial is unquestioned, and the policy contract of the Company has always given entire satisfaction. The pamphlet setting forth the par- ticulars "of this special form of insur- ance is neat in form, and will prove of interest to anyone fortunate enough to secure one.

A new and important use for Refin- ed Parafline \Vax seems to have been discovered by a prominent resident of Ohio. living near Lancaster, who had two trees badly damaged by storm, one being a maple and the other an apple. In each caze a large limb was broken down from the trunk, but still attached to it. The limbs were propped up and fastened securely with straps. very much as a broken leg might be fastened with splints, and then melted refined wax poured into and all over the cracks. The “ surgical operation ” wss entire. 1y successful. The Parafline pre- vented the escape of the sap, kept out the rain and moisture which would have rotted the trees, prevent: ed the debredauions of insééts, and the limbs seem thus far to be perfect- ly re-attached to the trees.

Don’t worry kind friend. We’ve been tramping round long enouzh to know how soon these fellows hunt their hole when there’s a charge made. You couldn’t draw them out with a mustard plaster, and since we’re not expecting any money we may as well take all the fun we can out of it. Reader says we promised him an- other letter. If we did we’ll certain- ly allow it, but we really think so little is being accomplished that it would be better not to inflict our readers with much more of that kind of literature. Some few read it, but we feel safe in saying the majority are not hankering for it. It may be interesting to Reader to know that he has already ground out 56 feet 6 inches. while previous to this issue A. B. has occupied 39 feet 1 inch. Mrs. Benton, another charges Bob Edwards, and would you believe it one man gives the honor to Rev. Farqnharson. We never knew the place was so full of inspired poets. And still another makes a guess that RGV- Smith was the inspired poet. We’ve been waiting for the names of Revs. Ryan and Newton to be handed in. and then we’d feel that it was real good stufi. That “Inspiration” by our Muse. which appeared in last weeks issue, has caused a lot of guessing. Some say we wrote it, some say it was A. B. has occupied 39 feet 1 inch. Add about 6 feet for this week and still Reader. if we measure the argu- ment by quantity. will ' be about eleven feet ahead of A. B.. who, however. had intimated his intention to give the other half of this week’s letter on our proposed basis of two dollars a column, barring the free publication of the letter Reader says we promised him. Now to finish up the whole affair both Reader and A. Isn’t it funny to think of Mr. Farquharson running the funny col- umn of a local newspaper. B. nay finish the remaining halves of their reSpective letters and then pay for anything they want after that. The initial chapters of our new story, “Purified by Sufl'ering.” ap- pear, in this issue. Readers of light literature should begin now and follow up every chapter right to the close. The story is from the pen of Mary.Jane Holmes, and we think it will be not only facinating but free of anything of an immoral nature. DEAR SIR,â€"It is an old saying that a farmer who grows burdocks should have one planted on his grave. If it is appropriate for the farmers it will be in order for our town Fathers when they come to die. The luxui- iant growth of burdocks, now ripen- ing and casting their seeds, on some of our streets is a disgrace to the town. If it is the duty of the priv- ate citizens to destroy these on the streets adjacent to their properties, they should be notified “of their duty. and if not duly performed it should be done at their expense and that without. delay. A word to the wise is sufficient. Yours truly. Tm: MAN on THE STREET. [Say. Mr. Man on the Street. you’re too late. we have the burdocks cut in our back yard.â€"Ed.] This is not only the age of plenty. so far as natural resources go, but it is also the age of waste. We waste ore; we waste coal; we waste water. Unfortunately for our descendants. the consequences for our prodigality, in many cases, will be visited on them rather than on ourselves; but in one case, at least, we have lived to teel our own punishment. The discm ery, utilization. waste and dis- ' appearance of natural gas have all come to pass within a brief term of years. When this gas first came into use. as we are reminded by a writer in “ Engineering News.” the supply was popularly believed to be inex- haustible, in spite of the protests of geOIOgical experts. The new fuel was accordingly wasted shamefully, being used in hundreds of cases, where coal would have answered quite as well. Had it been reservedl for use in dwelling houses and in the finer manufactures, such as glass- making and pottery, it might have lasted fifty years, but it has now a1. most vanished, only afew years after its first appearance. A new reservoir is still occasionally tapped. but even then the precious gas is wasted as . shamefully as before.-â€"Montreal Star. The Waste of Natural Gas. HITS AND MISSES. Cut Them Down.
