THINK BEFORE You. SPEND.-Do you
really need the article? 1t is probably pref
ty article in dress, or in furniture but what
solid benefit will it be to you? Or is it some
luxury for the table, that you can as we'll do
without? Think. therefore, before you spend
your money. Or yon need new carpet, a
new bedstead, or a new dress, you are tempt
ed to buy something little handsomer than
you had intended, and, while you are hesita-
ting, the dealer says to you, "It's only triae
more, and you see how far prettier it is." But
before you purchase stop to think. Will you
be the better year hence, much less in old
age, for having squandered your money d? Is
it not wiser to clay up something for rainy
day. All these luXuries crafty you only
for the moment you soon tire of them, and
their only permanent effect is to consume your
means. 1t is by such little extravagances,
not much separately, but ruiuous in the ag-
gregate, that the msjority of families are kept
comparatively poor. The first lesson to learn
is to deny yourself useless expenses; and the
first step toward learning this lesson is to
think before you spend.-Economicol Hints.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best OF all pur.
gatives for family use. They are the product OF
long, laborious and successful chemical inyesti-
cation, and their extensive use, by Physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most etfectual purgative Pill
that medical science can devise. Being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no other pills
can be compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them when
needed. They keep the system in perfect order,
and maintain in healthy action the whole ma
chinery OF life. Mild, searching and effectual,
they are specially adapted to the needs Of the di.
gestive apparatus, arrangements Of which they
prevent and cure, II timely taken. They are the
best and safest physc to employ for children and
weakened constitutions, where . mild but efiec.

THE KELLOGG CONCERT


The Kellogg concert party were greeted by a
superb audience on Moday night, composed OF
Ottawa people, a car load OF guests from Strea-
tor, and quite number from La Sale, Peru, and
country towns. The house was well.hlled. 1t
can not be said that the concert was up to what
was expected of 1t. The instrumental numbers
we're by far the best features Of the programme,
both Adamowski and Liebling playing in excel
lent manner. Miss Kellogg seemed in very poor
voice. Certainly her singing OF the Polonaise
from "Mignon" was far short Of the standard Of
great singing. Her other numbers were much
better, and were heartily encored, the encore
"Old Folks at Home" being especially effective
in winning the affections Of the audience. The
baritone Tagliapietra has a very sweet voice.
with very little power; while Brignoli relied
more on his reputation than on his singing for
the effects ana sang just as little as possible and
preserve place on the programme.-However,
they are concert singers and operate singers.
Both Kellogg and Brignoi belong to the latter
class; and those who would hear them at their
best must hear them in opera

Light Rreakinc IN Russi,

The ukase relative TO peasants rents,
the terms of which have been settled, is expected
to be issued in st. Petersburg in q few days
General Melikoff and NJ d. Abaza have been its
principal promoters. The experience of twenty
years has shown that the payments imposed upon
peasants forland received at the time of the eman-
cipation of the serfs brought much more benefit TO
the landed proprietoTs than to the peasants In
many eases these payments amount to more than
the whole Income capable of being derived from
the land. The ukase VIII decree that proprietors
and peasants may come to voluntary
agreement for the complete transfer of ownership
to peasants until January !, 1885, when the period
of obligatory transfer will begin. In the mean
time the annual paymants viii be reduced forth
with to a rate which the peasants are able to pay,
and assistance will be afforded them to redeem
their holdings. The government will assume the
paymentOf 100000 roubles annually to indemnify
the proprietors for the reduced payments received
from the peasants, which will be taken from the
accumulated profits of the state bank now amount
ing to about 10O000OJO roubles
