Tho one marked characteristic of the criminal classes is a low order of physique. frequently associated with poor intelligence.

In this dull winter season, when you do not have the regular farm work to do, it might not be a bad plan to accustom the colts that are old enough to work, to the sights incidental to the country roads these days: for instance, the ever-present automobile is natu- rally a horse terrifler.

Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face. to see your skin get clearer and clearer. to wake up with out a headache. backache. coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best. day in and day out. just try inside-bathing every morning for one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as harmless means of washing from the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at your drug gist or general store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water claanses. sweeteus and freshens the skin. so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are subject to constipation. bilious attacks. acid stomach. rheumatic twinges. also those whose skin is sallow and com. pleXion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in ev- cry way.-Adv.

o'CoNNELL AND THE WITNESS
Sample of the Great Irishman's Intui-
ton and Quickness of Per-
ception.

Daniel O'Connell, in his career at
the bar, says Judge Parry in the Corn
hill Magazine, was rightly acclaimed
by the people as .'The Counsellor" He
remained a stiff gownsman to the
end; he never asked for silk, and re-
fused the judgeship offered to him.
No government ennobled him. He had
two titles, but they were given him by
his fellow men. In the greater world
Of politics he was ''The LiberatOr - in
his own demesne on the Munster cir
cult and among the peasantry of the
West he was 1.-THE Counselor
Of The Counselor's intuition and
quickness Of perception in guessing
the secret in a lying witness heart
many stories are told. He certainly
had a very intimate knowledge of the
thoughts and feelings of the lower
classes, but in the following story it is
difficult to believe that he had not re-
ceived some linking of the real truth
before he went into court. The story
is told, however, as an example OF MS
marvellous power of insight, and is in
any case a curious record of humor,
villainy and superstition.
1t was will case, and the validity
of the will was in dispute. The wit
nesses for the defense all swore that
the testator had signed the will while
''life was in him." Other counsel had
cross-examined the witnesses, and the
last witness was handed over to O'Con-
nell. He, too swore by the same
phrase that ''life was in the testator
when the will was signed"
''eBy virtue of your oath, was he
alive?" asked O'Connell.
SPY virtue of my oath, life was in
him.

great solemnity, and assuming an air
of inspiration, Il call on you in the
