the work at which they are employed.
Other reasons are that they are more
reliable, more easily controlled, cheap
err, more temperate. more easily pro-
curable neater, more rapid, more in
dustrious. less liable to strike, learn
more rapidly, etc.
On the other hand. the reasons for
their opinion given by those who did
not believe that there was any tendency
for the employment of women to in
crease in their industries were that

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run it's
course without the aid OF some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that

than Chamber,ain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaction

A QUEER AMIN AL.
Tho Australian Duck Bill Carries .
Sting In One Leg.


Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals, says
the Literary Digest Chief among
these is the duckbill or ornithorhyn-
chus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind of mole and webbed feet
and the bill of a duck. which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether it was bird or a
beast" 1t was only recently that It
was proved beyond doubt that this
curious animal lays eggs like bird.
though this had long been reported by
travellers. Now comes the news that
it has a sting on it's hind leg, capable
of killing by its poisonous effects. We
quote from the Lancet:
For long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute Of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with a gland. Then the opinion was
advanced that this might be weapon
allied to the poisonous armory CT
snakes, scorpions and bees, all OF which
possess a sort of hypodermic POISON
syringe. Though one set of observers
asserted that this was the case, an
other set denied, and so DR.. Stuart de-
termined, II possible, to solve this Ques-
ton. He received two independent ac-
counts, which coircided perfectly, and
from them he concludes that at certain
seasons, at all events. the secretion is
virulently poisonous. This mode of at
tack is not by scratching, but by lat
eral inward movements Of The hind
legs. Two cases are reported in dogs.
One dog was 'stung' three times, the
symptoms much resembling those of
bee or hornet poison. The dog was evil
IDENTIFY in great pain and very drowsy,
but there were no tremors, commissions
or staggering 1t is worthy of note that
certain immunity seems obtai2able,
for the dog suffered less on the second
occasion and still less on the third.
Two cases of men being wounded are
reported, in both of which the animals
were irritated, one by being shot and
handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms were the same as
in the dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four in dogs"
