LINWOOD.

Jane tth. 1»3.A well contested game of foot

ball took place in Rennie’s field on Saturday evening between the Mac- t^n and an aggregation made up principally of those who came mere­ly to see the Linwood team defend the home ground. Most of Lin- wood's best players, however, were unable to play, and hence tbe cap­tain. Mr. Rennie, did the best he could to give the Macton boys a game. The play was interesting throughout, the Linwood boys hav­ing rather the better of the game although no goals were scored by either side. The Macton boys are a well developed and gentlemanly lot of fellows and with practice will certainly make a strong team

EDITORIAL NOTES.The political atmosphere in To­

ronto still has a garney odor. In fact it begins to fairly smell to heaven.

The Commissioners’ report on the Stratton investigation has been laid before the Provincial Parlia­ment and the discussion upon it is occupying the attention of the members this week. The House Committee, too, has been whacking away at the charges against one of the Departments of corruption in a timber limit deal in which the fa­mous “ Cap” Sullivan made a mod­erate fortune, and one of the de­partmental clerks has been sus­pended for sharing in the boodle. If Ontario’s reputation keeps pace like this with Tammany in this stage of the ruce we ought almost to be able to flag those New York crooks in the home stretch.

The rain came to this section just in time. There was great danger of a stunted growth of the various grains and hay when the none too copious showers of this week re­lived the situation, so that, barring some unusual frost or untoward weather, the Wellesley district bids fair to have another record- breaking agricultural season.

This the time of year when re­ports of the peach and crops being ruined by frost should be being sent broadcast. The raisers of these products have only a short time left in which to boom prices by sending out this annual scare.

The road machine is working in Wellesley this week. The road from “ Paris” to town has been nicely rounded up and the traffic of the next week or so will put it in exoellent shape. The council made a popular investment when they purchased this machine.

The question of imperial protec­tion is now one of the great prob­lems in England where free trade has been dominant so long. Mr. Chamberlain’s pronounced views and great speeches have made him the man of the hour..

A FARMER CURED OF RHEUM­ATISM.

“ A man living on a farm near here came in a short time ago com­pletely doubled up with rheum­atism. I handed him a bottle o Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and told him to use it freely and if not satis­fied after using it he need net pay a cent for it,” says C. P. Rayder, of Pattens Mills, N. Y. ‘ A few days later he walked into the store as straight as a string and handed me a dollar saying, ‘give me an­other bottle of Chambelain’s Pain Balm. I want it in the house all the time for it cured me.” For ■ale by A. J. Saunders, Wellesley.

Main’s circus drew a large crowd to Berlin last Thursday.

The Mennonite camp meeting commenced yesterday, June 10th. at Schneider’s grove, near Berlin.

North Perth Farmers’ Institute held its annual meeting at Milver­ton last Friday.

Stratford lost its last two games of football, both Tavistock and Milverton winning from the Classic City last week.

An accidental fire destroyed a fine bank barn belonging to Wm. Hammond, Elma, on the 3rd inst. Loss very heavy.

The Preston-Berlin street rail­way will be wired for electricity in about three weeks. Meantime pony locomotives are l>eing used.

OBITUARY.We are called upon this week to

record the death of Catherine Weber, widow of the late John Miller, which occurred ut her homo in this village *ou Sunday evening last, aged 75 years, 11 months nnd one day. Along with her husband, who died in October last, she has been a resident of this village for very many years, and is sincerely mourned by a large number of rel­atives and friends. The old lady has been blind for the past few years, and since her husband’s de­mise last October she has been gradually failing so that the end wa» not unexpected. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon, the remains being laid away to rest in the cemetery of the Miss. Luther­an Church, of which she had been a member since it was organized. A vast assemblage listened to the impressive funeral sermon deliver­ed by Rev. Mr. Lochner on the oc­casion. /

A lecture on fattening cattle, by Mr. Anderson was quite interesting and called forth a lot of question­ing.

Miss Smith, lecturer, gave an ad­dress to the ladies.

The ladies of the winterbourne Institute spread a splendid dinner under the trees, which was highly appreciated by all the visitors.

M. t h i e m a t h o m e . A VISIT TO OUR M ILLINERY DEPARTMENTP t n l U f Habit* o f tko HI*-

to r U a 'i D oll7 Life.The dally life o f Thler* was very pe­

culiar. He rose always at a very early boar, about 3 o'clock la the moaning, seldom later. After a cup o f coffee and a light repast he would work steadily for many hours. Then he usually took a walk or would perhaps play a game o f tennis before breakfast, which meal waa served at the usual French hour. Then he would speak to bis friends and go out for a drive, sometimes pay visits and return a little after 4. when be went regularly to bed and slept till it was time to get ready'for dinner. For some extraordinary reason his diuuer hour was 7:50, and he was very punc­tual. After dinner he always 6lept for twenty minutes or half an hour and then would remain up chatting and talking to a late hour. His brightest moment was always subsequent to his after dinner sleep. No one could be more agreeable in conversation, more easy or natural or more ready to im­part information without being prolix. He was a true Provencal in all his tastes and habits. He loved the bright •un o f his native Provence. He thor­oughly appreciated the peculiar charm o f the coast near Marseilles, the beau­ty of the gray olive groves and the ■mile o f the Mediterranean. He pre­ferred the dishes o f Provence to almost any others. He used -to mix oil liberal­ly with his food, and I remember at a dinner at the Duchesse Galllera's a fair sized bottle o f oil was specially plaoitf next his plate and he consumed iUTi.

An amusing Joke was practiced upon the examiners at Cambridge, says a London paper. It had been said that the examination in mathematics had been becoming far too difficult, and very rear'cbmplalnts had arisen from tutors. To the astonishment o f the university, all the eigtheen or so so­lutions appeared on the day before the examination in the Granta. "worked out. we believe, by our office boy.” How the miracle was performed re­mained a secret until it had been suf­ficiently wondered a t The editor of the Granta had secured the services of • number o f recent senior wranglers, who in privacy had deliberately set to work to master the problems which the university dons had been concocting for months past The task had to be accomplished within twenty-four hours, and the printers were up all night set­ting the solutions in type. Naturally the Granta sold by the thousand that week.

How Ho Got It.A good story Is told about a former

member o f the Missouri legislature.Before his election ho was chroulcally “ broke.” When he returned from Jef­ferson City, he exhibited $500 In good, crisp greenbacks. Some o f his friends “ Jollied” him about his prosperity.

“ You didn't have a cent when you went to the legislature, did you,Jones?” said one of them.

"Not a blamed cent.” said Jones. . , _ ,“ As a matter o f fact I lent you half U p p O S l t © t i l e D r u g fc> tO T 0 ,

your railroad fare, didn't 1?”“ I believe you did.”“ Well, you were down in Jefferson

City about forty days. You got $5 a day. Now, what the gang wants to know is how you managed to save $500 out o f a total inco/ne of $200."

"Come closer.” whispered Jones, "and I ’ ll tell you how I did it. 1 had my .washing done at home.”

, R e n » r k * b l« L ««k-In Gold Hill, Nev., In 1877. one of

the mining bosses—Tole by name—bad trouble with some of the laborers in his mine. One night three of them at- | tacked him In a barroom. Two o f them pinned him down, while a third stood { over him with a revolver. The muzzle ! f almost touched bis stomach. Once. | twice, thrice, a fourth and a fifth time - the weapon snapped. Tole closed his \ eyes. Each moment he expected to be \ his last. The disgusted ruffian threw his disappointing weapon on the floor, with an oath, and. joined by his aids, left the place. Tole wiped the cold aweat from his brow, mechanically picked up the discarded weapon, went to the door and fired off every charge, remarking that It was just his luck.
