wood having been on trial a few
months since for the assassination of
a man in their vicinity.

Greenway made an official statement
to the Manitoba Legislature this after
noon on the school question. He
stated that the government saw no

In view of this fact the government
has decided to ask that the legislature
adjourn till May 8, that ample time
may be gived for full and deliberate
consideration. The Catholics charge
that this is an attempt to shirk the
issue.

gland. At this critical moment a friend
recommended s. s. S., and laying aside
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, | began its use. Before had
used one bottle the enlargement began to
disappear, and now it is entirely gone. and

my second bottle yet. Had i only used your

this endorsement will serve you in any way,
use il.
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The

sorts TO the knife prove either fruitless or

ically i'll for weeks. Prof Huxley was
born near London. His school days
were very short. At 81 he was al
ready a professor of two sciences
of natural history at the Roy
al School of Mines and of physi-
ology at the Royal institute. As
assistant surgeon to II. NJ S. Rattle
snake he had spent three years in
studying natural history off the Aus
tralian coasts and had written out the
record of his observation in the earliest
of his books. The admiralty refused
to pay penny of the publishing ex-
penses. The young assistant surgeons
salary was IS Cd day and the volume
only saw the light some five years
later, when it was issued by the Royal
society. But from the days of his first
fight with fortune, Prof. Huxley's
fame rose steadily. At the age of IL
he had become president of the Brit
ish association. had developed that
limpidity of style and strength of logic
which makes him both the most re-
doubtable antagonist in the literary
arena, and the most popular exponent
of the discoveries of science.
