Weather Report.

Taken near Ridgeway, for April 1898:
Though the month came in cold it
was on an average 2deg. warmer than
preceding April. Snow was gone by
the 10fb, and farmers since then have
been very busy seeding. Thermome-
ter ranged from 12 deg. ou the 2ad to
81 deg. on the 25th. The monthly
mean was 4S 0 deg. We had 2.4O inch
es precipitation, which was mostly
rain. Westerly winds predominated,
1t was fine month, and there has
been abundance of water over the
land. The winter just passed was not
a hard one on vegetation in this vi
cinity, and apple orchards aud clover
fields are all right. ARTHUR BELTS,

The ancients believed that rheuma.
tism was the work of demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflamma tory rheu-
matism will agree that the infiiction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlaiu's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tism, and hundreds bear testimony to
tie truth of this statement. One ap-
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale

Theinspection Of milk and it's sources
Of supply is, in the opinion Of experts,
of even more Importance from a public
health point of view than the inspection
OF meat, since milk is SO largely used
as the food of infants. Milk, immedi-
ately 1t is taken from the healthy COW,
contains no microbes. Hardly has the
milk settled In the pail than they
abound, SO many as 10000 In one-quar-
ter cubic inch having been detected.
The question which naturally presents
itself is: where do they come from 2"
From the soiled teats, from the soiled
hands of the workers, from the atmos-
phere of the milking shed, and from the
pals themselves. They possess the
property of propagating very rapidly.
M. de Freudeurich, of the Berne labora-
tory, asserts that milk just drawn, con-
tanning in one-quarter cubic inch 1000
microbes, seven hours later was found
to contain 10000. After period of rs
hours had elapsed 100000 microbes
were present in the same quantity Of
milk; and if the temperature be raised
to o5 degrees Fahrenheit the microbic
population of the same milk during the
same time would reach the enormous
total of s12,5oo,0o0. Children appear
particularly prone to contract con-
sumption through the agency Of milk
containing tubercle bacilli.

The recent protest of ]. Sterling Nor
ton, of Nebraska, against the cutting Of
Christmas trees is warmly commended
in that section. In his protest he said:
"The treesselected for slaughter on this
anniversary are always the straightest
and most symmetrical. There were last
year more than 2o,oOo,00o OF Christmas
trees cut down and put on the market.
The absurdity Of celebrating the birth
of the Saviour of the world by wanton
waste and extravaganza which jeop-
ardizes the welfare Of millions OF hu-
man beings yet unborn is obvious to
every thinking man."

When does the twentieth century be-
gin? 1t seems strange that this should;
be vexed question, butitis. It comes
as frequent inquiry in the mail Of
newspaper offices. The twentieth CEN
tury begins January l, 1901. Next
year Is the last of the nineteenth CEN
tury, for the simple reason that 1t takes
100 units to make q hundred. Ninety
nine is one short. If debt Of $1,000 was
to be discharged nobody would think
OF reckoning one dollar OF the amount
as part of an additional hundred. Nine
teen hundred years make 10 centuries,
and the twentieth century, consequent-
ly, will not be here until the first day of
1901. 1t will give way to the twenty
first century on January /, 2Oo1.

"At many Of the 700 1 have stopped from

1.-The professional traveller has no kick

He knows enough to realize that he is
as a rule better fed at even the second

house-that is, he has more to eat if he
desires and a larger selection to choose
from. AS far as the room is concerned,
the travelling man only has it to sleep in.

my opinion that the hotels feed well
goes with them all-north, south, east and
west. Now and then some are specially
good. The difficulty with the so-called
poor hotels is that eaters are bad; it is
not the food. A poor sleeper likewise
makes a very poor bed. The ballad sing,
