Mount Royal Once Active Volcano.
In the work on the Canadian North
ern railway tunnel the engineers have
found that Mount Royal, under which
the line will pass, was at one time
either an active volcano or was made
by lava being forced through the
ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at one time great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian mountains to the
st. Lawrence river was found in the
small heading on Ste. Monique street.
This was piece of Laurentian gneiss.
rock peculiar to the Laurentian
mountains and it Is believed that in
the past this rock was carried down
by glacier, which probably emptied
into the St. Lawrence river not fay
from the present harbor.

Him Very Bitter.
Paris.-John jackson, the negro
charged with burning the Birds Creek
Baptist church at Whitlock, was tried
at Whitloek before Squires Humphreys
and MCGOWAN. The trial was heard in
the schoolhouse in order to accommo-
date the crowds Despite the fact that
the only tented show OF the past twelve
months in here, the populace of that
section stayed at home and went to the
trial, packing and tanning the school
room until there was no room left.
Probably never before has the feeling
been so intense. The negro was held to
the next term of the circuit court, and
in default of bond in the sum of
$1,000, Jackson was brought to Paris
and lodged in Jail. For the best inter
ests of the county, it is well that the
negro is safely lodged in Jail, for ii
he had been turned loose in the conf
munity it might have caused trouble.

ITCHING INSTANTLY
And Completely Cured Skin Huuor.

II you have eczema or any other
itching, burning skin trouble, the best
evidence of what Resinol Soap and
Resinol Ointment can do for you is
the word of one who was cured by

Schoen, TAI Shepherd Ave-, Brock
lyn, writes:
Nov. /, 1912.--"At first little red
spots were seen on my arms and body,
which l noticed were getting larger
every day. They itched me so much
that scratched myself until bled.
There were times when I stood up all
night and scratched. / was troubled
about three weeks, during which time
/ used --, which seemed to do me
no good whatever. Then, finally, |
thought of trying Resinol Soap and
Resinol Ointment. AS soon as / ap-
piled Resinol Ointment felt much re-
lief. After using It few times, no.
ticed the sore spots slowly fading
away, and in about month / was
cured completely"
The soothing, healing balsams in
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap,
penetrate every tiny pore Of the skin,
clearing 1t of all impurities, driving
away eczema, rashes, ringworm, psori-
asis, and other eruptions, and making
pimples and blackheads impossible.

There is no desire on The part Of
the American people to engage in
war with Mexico. Nor are they at
allin sympathy with any policy that
would precipitate war All thy ask
is that American life and property be
respected by the Mexicans and that
the disgraceful turmoil and excesses
in that faction ridden republic shall
cease. 1t is conceded on all sides
that if the United States war with
Mexico it would be one sided com,
bat as to be scarcely interesting.
Mexico has no navy with which to de-
fend her coast against our own and her
army and people are in such dis
organized condition that the advance
of an American army upon Mexico
would be in the nature of a parade
From the very outset the position q
