The law passed last winter relating
to the destruction of noxiOus weeds
makes it obligatory upon the chairmen
of the different towns to appoint com
missioners whose duty it will be to
see that such weeds are destroyed, and
any chairman who refuses or neglects
to appoint a weed commissioner is
subject to a fine. The editor OF The
Lancaster Teller does not like the law
and says that it is matter of such

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap Of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of consump-
ton, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only short
time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece of wrapping
paper she read of DR.. Kings New Dis
coyery, and got a sample bottle; it
helped her, she bought a large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another and
grew better fast, continued its use and
is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump,

Interesting Facts as to the Royal william
and Other Vessels.
That Robert Fulton built the first YES
sci in the world to be wholly and sue
cessfully operated by steam is conceded
| by all historians. This was the Cler-
mont in 1907. But in 1909 John Nelson,
of Montreal, launched the Accommoda-
ton, a larger boat than the Clermont,
and built with considerable elegance
for navigating the turbulent st. Law
renee between Montreal and Quebec. 1t
took her SO hours to make the trip down,
''nnd considerably longer to RETURN
the fare being proportionate, IS down
and 50 up stream. In 1915 the Fronte-
nae, OF about roo tons burden, was built
by one Henry Teabout for Kingston cap
italists at cost of $50, 600 sterling. She
was the first steamboat on Lake Ontario
and made fortune for her owners in
the lake trade, being what is called a
''lncky" boat.
A small boat called "Wallx-in-thc-
Water" was built at Buffalo few years
after the Frontenac, and was, so far as
known, the first boat on Lake Erie.
1t can be proven beyond doubt that
the first vessel to cross the Atlantic, OPP
Grated wholly by steam, was the Royal
William, built by Mr.. George Black, an
eminent ship-builder of Quebec, for the
Halifax Steam Navigation Company,
during the winter of 1S30-31. Mr.. Black
alone had the contract for building the
Royal William. She was built at his
ship-yard in Quebec (called Blacks Cove
to this day., and with his money. Mr..
Goudie was employed as master builder,
being, as he says, engaged to carry out
the plans and construction of the vessel"
and no doubt from his previous expert
ence, was able to make many favorable
suggestions. Her engines and boilers
were constructed by Messrs. Burnett IL
Henderson, of Montreal. She made
few trips between Quebec and Halifax,
and on August 3, 1888, cleared from the
port of Quebec for London. After three
lays detention for coal at Picton, Nova
Scotia, she started on August 1S, and ar
rived at Gravesend on September II.
Lloyd's register for September l2, 1888,
has the following announcement:
" Gravesend, September 11.-Arrivals
Steamship Royal William, McDougal,
Quebec" She was finally sold on Sep.
5ember 10, 1884, to the Spanish Govern.
ment, converted into war steamer-the
first the Spaniards ever possessed--and
aame changed to the Ysabel Segunda.
In 1887 she was broken up and her ma

the fishermen to take bottle of pepper

as they take it from the hook, sprink-

eating it down without cleaning any
thing off except the scales. The Core
