A Dilemma.

Between ant-home industry courts
and juries and physicians who believe
with DR.. Scott. of the Agricultural
college, that when the country
along the rivers is developed by COM
merce aud factories" the outlook for
pure water and fish food is anything
but encouraging.
Hence, it is a question we
surrender our rivers AS pure water and
healthy fish supplies or continue to
preach the gospel of high tariff, al
legged to be stimulant of the very
things which, it is said. pollute our
streams
There are men in Cumberland in
pursuit of the pulp mil-a home fac

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

as Well as the Farmer-Cheaper Trans
po, :ation Would Benefit All Glasses.
Good Roads Associations.
The organization of a good roads as
tociation i'll any city is movement to-
ward an important reformation. The
people who live beyond the city limits
have more interest i'll this matter than
the townspeople, but nearly all do more
or less driving or wheeling, while every
family is interested i'll the cheap trans
portation of farm produce.
The farmers have moro to gain by
the Improvement of highways than any
other large class of people. Preachers,
doctors, mail drivers and travelling
agents are small classes who individual
y have large concern in the state of
the roads, but collectively do not suffer
privations at all comparable to that
which the farmers endure by reason of
bad roads.
The produce which the farmer sends
to market is hauled to town or taken to
the railroad station over the country
highway. The goods he purchases for
his own use must be conveyed part of
the distance to his home over this route.
He drives his family to church, or to
town, or visits the neighbors over such
roads as are provided i'll his district If
the road is bad one, he can only take
half a load when he is carting produce
anG. car, only travel at a siSw pace when
he drives His toll is increased when he
works; his pleasure diminished when
he takes his pleasure; his horses suffer;
his wagons and carriages have a short
er lifetime than if his district were pro-
vided with il firm and smooth highway.
1t might be possible to compute the ag-
gregate loss to the country in time and
property through the bad condition of
the roads OF the country. 1t would not
be easy to estimate the loss of comfort
and pleasure or to appraise the conse
quences of loss of temper and of health.
The townsman is interested in every
thing that concerns the dweller in the
country. If the country suffers, the city
shares the trouble. When it is hard for
the farmer to get to market himself, or
to send his produce there, the effort is

CANADIAN CINDERELLA.
Barbarously Treated by Her Fa-
thor and Stepmother.
Tried to XIII Her by Inches-Benten'
Starved, burned, Frozen and
Worked Like the Lowest
of Slaves.

A story of most awful cruelty TO
child has just become public through
the trial at Sherbrooke, Quebec, of
Joseph Lapierre and his second wife,
who endeavored to kill by inches 49,
year-old Celina, Lapierre's daughter by
his first wife. These monsters of the
lowest class of French-Canadiaus have
n small farm, 30 miles from Sherbrooke.
The little girls story was confirmed by
the testimony of other children, who,
with the approval of the parents,
helped to torture her; by several ply
sicians under whose care she had been,
and by the cure of the parish.
The child Celina told this story in
court. She had been kept in q convent
at Arthabaska till last fall, and until
then had not seen her stepmother or the
latter's children. When she returned
home they all at first seemed glad to
see her. But soon she was made q sort
of Cinderella. She was made to scrub
the floors, clean the house, wash the
clothes, dishes, pots and pans, chop and
carry in wood, and feed the pigs and
cows. She was made to sleep in the gar
wooden walls through which the wind
and the snow blew all winter. She had
neither bed nor bedclothes, but slept on
the bare floor. Her warm clothes were
taken from her and she was given a
thin calico dress without underclothes.
This she wore all winter. Shoes and
stockings she was not allowed to wear
even in the winter when the thermome-
ter was often IS degrees below zero.
Her parents wanted to get rid of her.
Soon systematic torture began to kill
her in such way as, they thought,
would give the law no hold upon them.
Her stepbrothers and sisters were en-
couraged to torture her by the mother.
who laughed at her misery.
Every day some new kind of torture
was invented. The stepmother used to

The reason that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are helpful in such cases as
this, is that they are composed OF vegetable
remedies which act directly on the impure
blood, the foundation OF disease.
