Do not forget that Friday next, July lst., will be Dominion Day, which is everywhere observed as a public holi- day. See advertisement in another col- umn with reference to the grand cele- bration to be held at Lindsay. Patent Medicines. Some time ago the Massachusetts State Board Analyst published a state-v meat of the amount of alcohol in thirty- fivc patent medicines, none of which contained less than 12, and one of them more than 47, per cent, while beer contains only from two to five per cent. of alcohol. Since then these medicines have been much discussed. and the Tor- onto Star, in a long article in reference to them, makes the following valuable suggestion : “It might very well be provided bylaw that a prepared medicine sold without stint. to all who ask for it, should, if it Contain cocaine or any other poison, bear this fact clearly set forth on both the wrapper and label. This should be done for the protection of so- ciety. A proprietary medicine could be registered with the Government. it could be analysed. The officer of the Govern- ment entrusted With this duty would not require to pass judgment on the ef- ficacy of the medicine as a cure for the diseases for which it. is recommended He should have nothing whatever to do with that, because, in forming hisjudg- ments, he would take no broader view than that of the school in which he was trained. and ‘ discoveries’ and new methods would be coudcmnedd His du ty would merely be to detect the pres- ence of injurious drugs in remedies that. were. being popularized. and to compel the labels to carry in plain English on admission that it is not a medicine that anyone should use in excess. He would guard the public against. consuming dol- cterious substances unknowingly in seek- ing relief from their infirmities.” Struck by Lightning. On Mr. Alex. McGee’s farm in Fenc- loc, about three miles from the Falls, there is a splendid born, 76 x 114 feet, on a. stone foundation, and about three feet from the barn. on its north side. is a now empty silo. 18 feet, in diameter and 24 feet high, with a chute running from near its top down into 'the base- ment of the barn, about 30 feet from its west end at which there is a ventilator, eight inches square that goes up from the ceiling of the basemcns and out. four feet thrugh the roof. At. about. one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon while a storm was racing. a bolt of lightning struck the top of the ventilator, down which it passed to the basemcnt, and then, leaping across to the mouth of the chute. climbed up it into the silo, and there exploded. Mr. McGee, who was on the thrashing floor of the barn at time, neither saw a flash nor felt any shock; but a man in the basement saw a flash that made the horses jumpin, their stalls, though he did not feel any shock. The lightning in. its progress smashed several feet of the ventilator into match-wand, without setting fire to the hay packed around it, and bored three or four hundred holes, which look- ed as though they had been made by small bullets, through the walls of the silo. The damage, which is only trifling, is covered by insurance. He Couldn’t Die. The following, from an American pa- per, is of course a joke, but. it shows the only way under heaven in which the trusts can be dodged : A wild man was discovered the other day over in Bates county, Missouri. His only costume consisted of some furs and’ leaves. His body and face were covered with long hair. Strange to say he seemed intelligent and sane. lie told his captors he was living close to nature that he might be free from the trusts. He were no clothing, and thus beat the clothing trust. He lived on wild berries and fish..and was free from the food trust. When he wanted a fire he made one out of the broken limbs of dead trees, and beat the coal trust. He lighted his fire by rubbing two sticks together, and thus reduced the income of the match trust. His house was a cave, thus dodging the lumber trust and the labor trust. “But what '5 the use of your liv- ing ? ” asked one of his captors. “ Why do n’t you die ? ” “I do n't dare to die,” sighed the poor fellow. “ Igmust live to beut'thc coflEin trust.” And then one of his hearers handed the poor" man a trust-make handker- phicf to wipe away his tears} â€".«-â€"u~â€".'â€" ‘ Farewell Address and Presehtation. dc afternoon by a» score of 13 to 5.

S. of the Methodist church 'was held at tho home of Mrs. (Dr.) Wilson on Tues- day afternoon. There was a large at- tcndance 0! members and several new members were added to the roll, giving every encouragement for a prosperous year. At the close of the business, Mrs. Garbutt, who in leaving Fenelon Falls, was presented with a dozen beautiful pearl‘handled knives and the following address : Dear Mrs. Garbutt: We. the members ofthe Women’s Missionary Society of' the Fenelon Falls Methodist.
