GQ. GC. Campbell, Kingston, and Miss Gwen Lazier. Napanee, April' 26.--The last lecture of the Lennox and Adding- {ton Historical Society series for the {season was delivered in Historical Hall last night by Professor P. G. C. Campbell, one of Queen's most in- teresting and instructive lecturers. In the opinion of a large number of his hearers the lecture was the best yet delivered. His splendid exposi- tion of scenes, life habits, customs, etc., regarding students and __ pro- fessors in the middle ages, was most attractive. Through his vivid word-pictures, ran a vein of quiet humor, or perhaps the Scottish word, "pawky" better describes his | attitude towards his subject, | "Medieval University." The first of university life tad its beginning at Paris and Oxford and his lecture covered a period of 300 years from 1150 to 1450. The students for the n.ost part came from the poorer {families and many hardships had to be endured fn the pursuit of know- ledge. In many things there was a (great different between then anid {now, and again {in many things | there was great similarity. Fine | lantern slides were a help in the {story Professor Campbell told so {well. It is hoped that at mo distant | date he will come back and give us a little more from his vast store- house of knowledge. The annual reports of the Society |for the past year were given by the | President, W. 8S. Herrington, K.C., | F.R.S.C., and the secretary, Rev. A. [3 Wilson, B.A., B.D.,, which were | highly satisfactory, except for tha {tact that the society has not as large a membership as it shoud {have. No doubt this defect will be |remedied in the year just begun. {The new publication, just issued. "Papers and Records Vol. XI, The North American" was distributed {to members. The present officers of the Society were re-elected by ac- clamation. A pleasant episode of this meet- ing was the presence of and an d- dress by Miss Gwendolen Lazler the "||| Courier, who is travelling on horse- | back from Belleville, Ont., to Wash- ington, D.C., carrying with her the {Invitation of Mayor W. C. Mikel, K.C., to the president of the United States to attend the celebration of the 140th anniversary of the set- tlement of Upper Canadq, which commences June 16th next at the City of Belleville.

Had Sore Back for Last Ten Years Then Mr. Ed. Newton Tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Quebec Man is One of the Many Who Tell Why He Recommends Dodd's Kidney Pills. Campbell's Bay, Que., April 2358. (Special )--'I cannot recommend your Dodd's Kidney Pills enough. 1 had a terribly sore back for the last ten years, so I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 used six boxes and found great relief. I do not find any pain now. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all people who suffer with their back.. I would never be with- out Dodd's Kidney Pills myself." This statement comes from Mr. Ed. Newton, a well-known resident of S| this place. That Mr. Newton's trouble was caused by the kidneys is evi- denced by the immediate relief he sot. Weak kidneys are not confined to grown people. They are tod often found in children, sowing the seeds ot future ills unless the kidneys are strengthened and put in condition to do their full work. SAVED BABY'S LIFE Mrs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St. Michel des Saints, Que., writes:-- "Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent medicine: 'They saved my baby's life and I cad highly recommend them to all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemon- tagne's experience is that of thou- sands of other mothers who have test- ed the worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are a sure and safe medi- cine for little ones and never fail to regulate theobowels and stomach, thus relieving all the minor flis from which children suffer, They are sold by medicine dealers or-by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

It is a strange thing that in the prevaling censorship of letters and the stage no one has seen fit to note the corruptive, perverting, and im- moral nature of the classic "Mother Goose." The book contains much that is damaging to the young: It derides marriage; "Needles and' pins, needles and pins, when a man marries, his trouble begins." It encourages ignorance: "Old Mother Goose when she want- ed to wander, would ride through the air ona very fine « gander." It sanctions too much om : "Wee Willle Winkle runs through the town, upstairs and down- stairs, in his nightgown." It' encourages theft--to say nothing of poor grammar: "Tom, Tom, the piper's son, stole a pig and away he ran." It doesn't tell the truth: , "Uphill and down dale, butter is made in every vale." It is disrespectful to old age and thus encouraged bad conduct: 2 "Young lambs to sell! Young lambs to sell! Hear the old man shout and yell!" It encourages actions which lead to poor health: : "Handy, Spandy, Jack-a-Dandy, loves plum cakes and sugar candy." » A Fast Worker. She: "Men have no hearts." He: "Yes, they have; but when they meet you they lose them." ' ~--Rollo Shephard. Woman.
