From the Acton Free Press. No man ia better known to the peo- ple of the counties of Hullon and Wel- lington than William Heiustreet, a pioneer and much esioumed resident of Acton. Mr. Homstreet in a native of this county, having been born in Trafalgar town-hip in 1S17. In his younger days Mr. Hematrent conduct- ed a tanning business. Ho subsequent- ly engaged in the droving and butch- ering business, and some twenty- live years ago, owing to his superior knowl- edge of the value of liv* stock, he took out a license as an auctioneer. In this calling he bncame at once popular and he was constantly on the rood, driving in all kinds of weather. holding auction Kales several days a week. Although possessing a strong healthy constitution, the continued exposure and hard work selling some days for six or eight hours at a stretch, he gradually lost his strength s- d vigor, and about three years ago found himself a collapsed and worn- out-man. In conversation with a re- in irter of the Free Press he said: "I felt that my days of usefulness -were over. My strength had deported, my voice wa gone, I was too weak to do work of any kind and I was undeni- ably u-eless to myself or anyoue else. My symptoms were peculiar and baffled several of tin- l"--t local physic- ians, who differed very much in their diagnosis. I took their medicines faithfully bnt no improvement result- ed. I did not suffer much juiin luif was a very sick man. Had no apjw- tite, no strength, could not ile<-p, aud both myself and my friends concluded that my days on earth were iiuinlmred and that my worn-out system wonld in a very short time lie down in eter- nal rest. I had to give up all my busi- ness interests. ' When Mr. Hemstrnet's condition was mo-t -erions his atten- tion wa* attracted by the published testimonial of Rev. Mr. Freeman, a minister with whom he was personally acquainted, relating to his restoration to health after using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He was particularly im- presvd with this testimonial, and con- cluded that these pills must pneaess singular merit and healing power or Ht>v. Mr. Freeman would not lend his name to their approbation. Mr. H'-m-trc.-t then decided to give tliem a trial; he first got one box then three, then half a dozen, and took them regularly. No very marked effects, he says, were noticeable but with char- acteristic insistence h purchase.! a further supply.

"For a year 1 continued to take the pills," he said.

Montgomery Smith has con- trihuted an articie to the Cold Stor- age Maga/inn winch goes to demon- strate that the Bitish Kmpire is yc by year approaching that much to be ilesirod state which, will make her independent of the rest of the world iu regard to food supplies. He says: So much has been written aud said about the difficulties and dangers ol the food supplies of Great Britain, that it is not .H then It for any one who has studied the fiiixi question enough to readily uinlcrMiuid what an impor- tant parr sciontilii- imxlp.rn mechanical refriguration must play for inland transit, storage aud oversea trans- portation, since, its successful commer- cial application is now an accomp- lished fact. The dangers of a food famine in England in case of war, have always been and are still to a lesser degree, a matter of great mom- ent, owing to the 'act that she has, been obliged to draw her food sup- plies from all countries in the world. Tbe following table shows the val- ues of some, twelve food products imported by (ireat Britain for the years ended December 31, 181HJ and 18U7, respectively : MM. >'I7.

These figures of the values of the imports of twelve classes of food pro- ducts show the existence of a market of enormous capacity, beside which all other markets in the world dwindle into insignificance. If we examine the ulxive neuron, it will be seen that alwmt ^'..".(l.iKHI.iXK) of snoh food products con-ist of such an must and can only Ix- placed on the Knglish markets liv the i i ; .men of cold stor- age accoimiiiMlai mil. especially if shipped from di.-tant parts of the world.

When we stop to coiinidor tlint Eng- land is the greatest buyer of food pro- dncts tho world has ever known, and that, cither in one part or another of the British Empire,, nuch food pro- ducts can 1m produced in enormous quantities ..,|iial to the demands, if they can be successfully carried to arrive iu good condition, is it at all strange that rapid progress shonld be made in all snch methods, epecially when iu most cases it means national prosperity for the various parts of the Empire? This is what makes cold storage a vital o.nestion in Great Britain to-day, while in many other colonies the various Governments offer the most hlx-ral support, and in Canada it may be said to be a po- litical issue, so thoroughly has it be- come apparent that modern and cold storage is absolutely necessary both on land and sea, if food products are to be placed on foreign markets. In Africa the Government has extend- ed its rapport to a new extensive system of oold stores, while each few months oan be seen new subsidies given to steamships trailing to vari- ous parts of the Empire conditionally upon fitting with, modern mechanical refrigeration for carrying fresh food supplies in larger quantities. Some fifteen years ago Australasia sent no meat to England, while the United States sent about 26,000 ton; In 189* the United States sent 78,000 tons, while Australasia sent 83, (XX) tons. Australia could a few years ago ship no dairy produce to England, bnt now she sends much more thou the United States, and for which she re- ceives more per pound, while in near- ly every part of the Empire, in all parts of the world the same tenden- cies are at work. t .1.111. 1. 1 I .1 ],;,!, I, li:...

In the British army the four-legged recruits are drawn up in a ring round an instructor who fires a pistoL Some take, the flash and report very quietly, and these are very soon pass- ed ou to severer trials, while the others huvn lesson after lesson until they an- unit,, convinced that there is no danger to them, aud before long you mighr tire a sevon-ponmler with- in a yard of them, anil they wonld hardly look around. After this they are taught to face fire that is to say, to gallop fearlessly up to a line or square of infantry blazing away with their rifles, and to charge batteries of quick-firing guns. Of course, only blank cartridges are used, and so to a trained horse going into battle for the first time there is no difference betwrwn the harmless thunder of man- euvers aud the death-dealing storm which sweeps over the halt Infield. The poor brute ouly learns what the difference really is by bitter experi- ence. When smokeless powder came into general use it was found that in many cases horses which wonld face the smoke, of guns using block powder without flashing, flinched and shied at the crash and roar unaccompanied by Nmoko. Contiuontai opinion is somewhat divided as to the moral effect of smokless powder on men and horses, bnt the general conclusion seems to 1m that in daylight it is not moro terrifying than black powder, although some hold that to see men and horses struck down by an invisi- ble agency must necessarily be so. Bnt it is generally agreed that the use of smokeless powder at night has a much more disturbing nffoct than that of the old powdor, because the flashes of the guns, unohscured by smoke, are a great doal more vivid. The fear thus inspired can, however, be overcome by training, bnt there Is another fear which must, in the nat- ure of the case, be fe.lt for the first time on the battlefield, and that U the often uncontrollable terror produc- ed both in men and horses by the whistling of bullets and the screaming and hanging of shells. Some authori- ties have, indeed, said that since the introduction of smokeless powder and the great increase in tbe range and accuracy of weapons, it wonld be im- possible to koop cavalry in hand un- der the ttre of modern artillery, bnt this is probably m exaggeration.
