Lone Widows Hundred Cats.

A singular case was decided in a
Montreal court yesterday. Mrs l.
Brossard, widow, resides in a rented
house and her landlord moved to have
the lease cancelled on the ground that
the woman used the house more as a
menagerie than as a place of human
habitation.
1t was set forth that about hun
bred cats were kept by this lonely
widow, and the plea was that they
not only injured the premises but
were a nuisance in the neighborhood.
The woman conducted her own de-
tense. She argued that she was a
poor, lone widow and therefore should
be allowed to have as many cats as
she thought necessary to solace her
declining years. Judgment was rend-
cred by Judge Taschereau, who or
dered the woman to vacate the house
and to pay all the rent due as well as
the costs of the case.-Toronto Globe.

APPEALED TO CHILD NATURE.

This story is told of a recent act of
a well-known London surgeon, whose
heart is said to be as gentle as his
manner is rough: He went from his
warm bed at o'clock one bitter morn
sng to attend tiny boy, who was in a
pcrflous plight from diphtheria. He
hastily performed the operation of
tracheotomy and to his joy saw the
child revive. During the next few
days everything passed off beautifully,
but the doctor wanted to hear his
small friend speak. This so far the
patient had not done 81 am sorry he

the little one. A tiny finger stole up
to wounded throat and the ghost of
baby's voice whispered: please,
doctor, bwing me tickle gun" He
got the tickle gun" and the doctor
knew that the child's voice was safe.

TINE liver is the great filtering ap-
paratus of the Authoritative, or

TIME liver is the great fiftering ap-
paratus of the authoritative, or
digestive, system. 1t filters the
poison-loaded bile out of the blood.
When the liver lacks active capacity
to do this work, then the bile passes
through into the general circulation
and begins its poisonous work.
Through the circulation of the blood
it is disseminated throughout the body,
gradually sapping the strength, cloud
ing the brain, weighing down the ener-
gies, weakening the hearts action, in
fecting and undermining the system.
Eventually the poison begins to accu-
mulate at the skin, the kidneys, the
bronchial tubes, or the lungs, until at
last it settles and fastens itself at some
point, which location may be far away
from the liver; yet it is stagnation or
congestion of the liver which is the inn
mediate cause of the whole trouble.

THE IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

Gov. Blanchard has just ap-
pointed the entire newspaper fra
tcrnity OF the state IS delegation
to an immigration conference to
pc held in New Orleans on Dec.
18th. The action Of the governor
is wise and commendaole for the
primaedial reason that it is neces-
sary to have perfect harmony
Of views on this aN-important
question among the men of the
press. While immigration is de-
si~able in this state, to develop
the boundless resources of soil
and industry, it is. we believe,
likewise true that some reason
and prudence should govern the
matter. We should be careful to
invite or induce the coming among
us Of the most sturdy and reliable
classes, as well as such elements
who are not addicted to the lowest
methods of life; for in contact
with such as these the tendency is
TO increase the difficulties of life
and to spread decentralization
among the native working classes.
Let the members of the press-the
most powl "iUl OF all social factors
and determine upon some
plan as to immigration in
the future.
