mankind first used calcined limestone in connection with masonry.It is known to have been used anciently by the Chaldeans, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.The most ancient form of cement was simply burnt limestone, more or lees pure, used very much as we use ordinary lime at the present time.The Romans were the first to adulterate lime by adding certain clay soils and slate for the purpose of making a cement of a hydraulic nature, i.e., one which would set or harden under water.Pliny, who lived in the first century B.C., describes the method of modifying ordinary burnt limestone and converting it into a form of hydraulic cement.It was anciently believed that the best cement was made from the hardest rock, and this opinion was not modified from the time of the Romans down to the eighteenth century.However, Johh Smeaton, the man who built the second Eddystone lighthouse in the course of examining the various hydraulic cements for use in the foundation and masonry, made the important discovery that the quality of hydraulic cement depends upon the amount of clay in the limestone.This is conceded as the most important discovery in the art in nearly twenty centuries.On the Island of Portland in the south of England there are certain quarries of limestone which have been worked for many years, anciently producing buildiug stone.In 1824 an Englishman named Aspdin, of Leeds, patented a process for mixing and burning lime and clay.The product locked so much like the Portland limestone that he called it \u2018Portland cement,\u201d from which the commonly known name given to nearly all kinds of hydraulic cement was derived.From Aspdin\u2019s time to 1880 many mills were erected in England and on the Continent for making Portland cement, which was mostly poor stuff and of limited use.The substance known as Portland cement consists largely of limestone with the addition of some silicate such as clay in certain proportions.In the process of manufacture these aub- stances are crushed, introduced into rotary kilns under high temperature, and burnt together.The resulting clinker is taken and ground in some sort of ball or Griffin mill.It is necessary to grind cement to & very high degree of fineness, and its strength depends largely upon the degree of care with which this is done.It may be said that the modern cement millis equipped with the machinery to do this suitably, as the requirements of engineers demand various tests before allowing cement to go into any work of importance.The cost of Portland cement has an- nusliy decreased as the production increased, coming down from about 98.30 per barrel in 1990 to about 91.60 per barrel in 1900, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014r\u2014\u2014 Jaoohe\u2019:.Rheumatic Liquid Cures Rboumation.THE

Mouths, In the sen of Gulllee, or Lake Tibe- rias, as it is also called, there ls a strange fish named the Chromts sino.nis, which Is more careful of its youug than fish generally are.The male takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps then in his natural side pockets, where they are regularly hatched and remain until able to shift for themselves.By this ingenious arrangement the brood is comparatively guarded against its natural enemies, 1t is eusily fed, too, but it is a puzzle bow the little ones escape being eaten alive.Awhile ago, says a traveler writing to a religious contemporary, I found In my net a number of these fish without eyes, Others of the species, when 1 lifted them up, dropped à number of little fishies out of thelr mouths, which swam away hastily.The natives explained the phenomenon.The blind chromis is the victim of sea huwks.When these birds have eaten their fill they begin to look out for tidbits.After catching a fish they hig its forehead with their sharp beak, knocking out the middle part, in which their eyes are set.The bony structure is dropped into the water, but the eyes are eateu by the Lirde with great relish.Strangely enough, the fish generally survive this rough treatment.The wound heals up quickly in water, and they continue to ply the lake for food as if nothing had happened.\u2014London Standard.FOND OF FINERY.Elephants

choosing thelr state elephants and will give fabulous sums for an animal that exactly meets the somewhat fanciful standards they bave erected, For these they have made cloths of silk 80 heavily embroidered with gold that two men are hardly able to lift them, An amusing instance of elephantine pride is narrated: The elephant which usually led the state procession of a rajah being fll, the magnificent trappings were placed on une which had up to that time occupied only a subordinate place.The animal, delighted with ita finery, squeaks and kicks of pleasure that general attention was attracted to it, THE MOUNTED POLICE.Commissionsr\u2019s Report Shows That Their Werk Results In Good Order Maintained Throughout the West.\u201cI am about to report that the new Provinces of Alberta

Northwest Mounted Police begins his annual report.\u201cThese provinces begin thelr Career as orderly and peaceably as any in the Dominion, notwithstanding that the great influx of population, drawn fram many foreign countries, and rapid development have created conditions which hitherto have not existed in any other portions ef Canada.A parallsl | only is to be found in the opening up of the western States.A marked Instance of the administration of justice by the Government of Canada has been the free expenditure of money in bringing criminals to justice.The Govern- men has never tied the hands of the police by refualng to authorize any expenditure of money where there was a reasonable hope of success.Many cases have cost the country thousands, and in one celebrated case upwards of one hundred thousand dollars was expended.It muat be a source of gratification to the people of Canada that the new pm- showed its glee by so many little : nineteen motors.vinces, which promise so much

says: Sir Hector Langevin, formerly Minister of Public Works in Sir John A.Macdonald\u2019s cabinet, died here Monday at a quarter to nine.The cause of death was cerebral congestion and congestion of the lungs.The end came very peacefully, his two daughters and their husbands, the Hon.Justice Cimon and the Hon.T.Chapais, being present at the deathbed.The late Sir Hector had been in failing health for some years past, but could be seen daily up to a short time before his death.His health, however, was such that he had led a retired life.He never lost interest in public affairs, though he had ceased to take any part in politics.Sir Hector was born in Quebec on August 25, 1826.The death of Sir Hector Louis Langevin snaps another of the few remaining links with pre-confed- eration days.Though the deceased gentleman has been living in retirement since 1891, he occupied sucha conspicuous position during the pre- ceeding thirty-five years that the Conservative party throughout the country will feel it has suffered a great loss in his decease.A native of Quebec, where he was born in 1826, and educated there, he began studying for the law and writing for the press at the same time; in fact, he became.an editor before he was called to the Bar.and throughout his strenuous career contributed largely to the periodical literature of the country.He began public life in the Quebec City Council and eventually worked his way up to the mayoralty of that city, which he held for four years.He was elected mayor and Conservative member for Dorchester county almost simultaneously, in 1857, and sat for that constituency until confederation.He speedily came to the front among the Conservatives of the province, and took a prominent part in the confederation negotiations.: for Lower Canada in the a Governm ent.Post- Until the close of Sunday school each of Mr.Rockefeller\u2019s time, but all he master-General in the coalition government, he worked hard

Columbia in 1871, in regard to the C.P.R.terminus works, and in 1873, after the death of Sir George Carter, became Conservative leader in Quebec Province, but was compelled to retire from office with his colleagues in 1873, after the Pacific scandal disclosures.After this he was elected for Charle- Voix, unseated on petition, elected again, defeated a year later, and finally let into parliament by the backdoor, the member for Rimouski retiring in hie favor.He then became Postmaster-General, and later Minister of Public Works, retaining the latter portfolio until, when the Liberal onslaught began and his administration was associated with innumerable scandals, he eventually resigned in 1891.NYSTERIOUS SHOOTING CASE.Reginald Stafford, a chauffeur employed by John H.Scoville, of New York, was killed by a revolver bullet at Hill Crest, in North Andover Centre, Mass., the summer residence of Mr.Scoville, early Sunday morning.Edward Ruby, the butler at the house, told the authorities that he heard a noise in the drawing-room after midnight, and, entering saw indistinctly the form of a man hiding behind a lounge.Ruby fired two shots, one of which struck the man in the head and caused probably instant death.When J.E.T.Orlando, another ser- vant-to whom the butler called for, arrived and when lights were turned on, they found the body of Stafford on the floor.The police are investigating.Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that contain Mercury.if FES i i Oo., Toledo, Ohio, contains no mer- is taken internally, acting directly i } a ei 3% GE 5 | : 5 tion of being faced by a police officer who occupies a chair beside the one which the minister, Rev.J.W.Bav- age, fills at each preaching service.The presence of this arm of the law is the result of a feud that has been declared between two factions in the church, and which has spread through the entire town.It all began way back in August, 1805, when a memorial window, costing 8500, was placed in the church in memory of Beteey Hardy Baily.The window was given by Caroline Baily Fiske of Clinton, Mass, and as the most fitting place for the window it was placed directly back of the pulpit.Complaint was made at once that the light that shone through the varicolored window was dazzling and try- 'ing to the eyes.One or two of the more critical ones even ventured to | say that it gave an unbecoming hue to the minister\u2019s complexion.After several Sundays the church committee placed a curtain of silesia over the outside of the window to soften the light.This did not meet with the approval of Mr.and Mrs.WE.Hopkins, relatives of Mrs.Fiske, who believed that the memory of | Mrs.Bailey, who was Mrs.Hopkins\u2019 grandmother, was being desecrated.A few nights later, it is alleged, G.F.Russell of Greenfield saw W.E.Hopkins descending from a ladder, which was leaning against the church, with the offending curtain under his : arm.| Certain it is that the next Sunday found a few dangling strips of silesia in place of the curtain.Two weeks later the church committee placed a dark green curtain over the lower half of the window and the following Thursday, while the annual roll call of | the church was going on in the town hall under the church, some one entered the church proper, and made off with the half curtain.Another curtain was put up and a few days later the early arrivals at the church were astounded by the appearance of Mrs.Hopkins, mounted on one of the pulpit chairs, tearing away the curtain.Nothing daunted the church committee put up a dark red curtain that could be drawn to one Solicitor- Bide during services.Over this the interview.police mounted guard and remained Sunday.The faction which opposed the curtain was chagrined at the appearance tain was torn down again.The another form of action and Mrs.W.E.Hopkins, Mrs.J.W.Savage and Walter L.Hopkins were chosen as a committee to see what should be done, and this committee concluded to place a ground glass window over the memorial window.But, evil fate by some chance the window was not of ground glass and disapproval was not suppressed by any means.Saturday, June 2nd, Mr.Hopkins and W.D.Hardy and two carpenters secured the church keys and removed the new window, leaving the memorial window to glare down upon Sunday\u2019s congregation.Notice of a church meeting was immediately given and last Thursday night a meeting was held to take steps toward legally preventing the destruction and removal of church property.The meeting was held, but it was decided to call another meeting, which will be held June 14th, so that all townspeople desiring can be present, as the church is the property of the town.In the meantime, in some unex- lained manner, the offending window bas been broken.SUMMER

resident correspondents for these papers in Washington, will visit Eastern Canada about the middle of July.They will be the guests of the Grand Trunk and will probably make their trip from Niagara

All at once the orchards began to bear, at first every other year, then, with but few exceptions, every year.The prices of farms that bad gone away down until it was hard to find buyers at any figure began to pick up until the valuations doubled and in many instances trebled the orig- ina} purchase price.Farmers longed for the trees that had been cut down and felt like kicking themselves all over the farm to think that they kaew no better, But what caused this change?This is and probably always will be a disputed ques tion.Some hold that it was better cultivation, thorough spraying, proper trimming, etc.Others bold that it just happened so in the order of things and that cuitivation, spraying, ete, bad little to do with it.But still they all, or pearly all, spray, and the orchard that once was sod bound, with brush heap tops, now is as carefully pruned and cultivated as any crop on the farm, says W.C.Eaton in National Stock- man.Things That Keep Down Price.The most common

still climbing and other mill foods proportionately high, it is very evident that the dairyman must leave the par- chase of these foods to some one else.He must try to raise foods that will take the place of these purchased mill foods.And happily he can, says Pro fessor Thomas Shaw in Orange Judd Farmer.In all the northern states the dairy farmer can keep practically away from the mill man.He may do to in other states, but be can do so more easily in the northern and mountain states than io other areas.How can be do it?By growing fodder corn and roots.There is Do state along the American boundary in which first class fodder corn cannot be successfully grown.And there is no province of Canada on the Canadian side in which tbe same may not be done.In some of these {t may be more successfully done thap in others.but it may be success tally done in them all Kind of Corn and Sell.The kind of corp mest depend on the locality.That kind wiil be best which give the jarzest amount of fodder re- gurlless of ear proluction, provided the fodder is sn fine that it will be practically all eaten and that it reaches a stage of maturity almost perfect.«1 before it is cut.It is greatls important that the corn shail be nearly r.3tgre when it is harvested and that it shall be harvested before it has been injured by frost.Sach corn will grow well on any kind of drained and rich land, bat in northern areas sandy loams are better adapted to its growth than clays.as on the former it grows more quickly and is therefore more certain to mature sufficiently before it is injurml by frost Grass or ciover is the best crop tn precede fodder corn.The roots of the corn revel amid the moisture and nutrient furnished by the decaying grass roots.MANAGING MANURE.Handling Twice Is Once Too Often For Economy.If the manure cannot be bauled directly to the field, there is no way to bandle it most economically.because it must be bandled at least twice.apd that is once too often for evonoms.In such case, however, the manure should be taken far enough away from the stable to keep bad odors from the cows.If kept under shelter, it must be tramped reasonably hard to prevent too rapid decomposition and must be kept wet enough to prevent \u201cfire fanging.\u201d Better by all means haul directly to the field, and the manure should be spread as fast as hauled.It is a mistake to plow the field first, then haul the manure afterward.Piling in large piles means that whatever liquids.come from the pile will soak into the ground.of course.But it means also land too rich where the piles are and not rich enough where they are not\u2014a spotted field.When Manure ls Toe \u201cStrawy.\u201d If the manure is too \u201cstraws,\u201d better leave the Geld unplowed until the manure is all

Never Be Solved.T> buy a wreck for £336 and subsequently to acquire from it a fortupe of nearly £200,000 is a stroke of good luck such as falis 10 the lot of few men.This.however, a Melbourne draper.now the Hon J.G.A:kman., member of the Legislative Council of Victoria can claim to have done.and the profits from his purchase is not complete yet, for the wreck is stiil proving a handsome source of revenue.The romantic story of this great fortune has on'y pust cme to light, writes the Melbourne correspondint of The Express, and is told by Mr.Aikman himself.On a June night two years ago the magnificen: P.and O.steamer Australia, which cost £330.40 to bulld, went ashore at the entrance to Port Philip Bay.à short distance from Melbourne.The v:ssel herself was subsequently put up t.auction.and knocked down to Mr.Aikman for the ridiculous sum of £298.Afterwards the aoctioneer offered the cargo lef: by the underwriters on the wreck.and this Mr.Aikman secured for apoth:ir £60.\u201cThe low price a: which the whole thing had been knocked down was a complete surprise\u201d decarss Mr.Aik- man.\"I had en.ugh money with me 19 pay a deposit of £2.60), Afi-r much trouble Mr.Alkman suc- céeded in getting divers to Work on the wr-ck-d liner, and then came the first of my pleasant surprises.\u201cIr was not long.\u201d he says, \u201cbefore I Lai the pl-asure of se-ing

overinoked.\u201cDuring the preliminary operations one of the greaisst surprises was th- discovery thal some one with a fishing bat wus removing something from the steamer, appar-ntiy without the aid of any diving gear.\u201cWe determined to make a eareful examinatiun of the hull at low water, when.0 our surprise, we found a valuable cargo of MunTb meta] lying high and dry and quite accessible.\u201cThere were ten tons of it, which were taken out in less than a day.the Thetal eventually reailzing £759.Nine hundred tons of bar iron, hard steel, tonl steel, and spar steel were recnver- ed from the wreck, and were sold at an average rate of £14 a ton.1 also got 740 tons of galvanized iron and 40 tons af steel during the first operation.\u201cAfter six months\u2019 operations we left what remained on the boat, with the object of abandoning her.when, in conversation with an engineer, that gen- Ueman mentioned that, counting thé csndenser and the metal brass and copper piping.there must have been hundreds of tons of metal on board.\u201cHe stated that he had seen the steamer when it was being built at home, and he was sure that some of the copper pipes would weigh a ton in themselves.\u201d The statements made by the engineer were fully borne out by investigation, and work was immediately resumed.\u201cDuring the second oprrations on the Australia 219 tons of brass, copper and gun metal were recovered, and 1,950 tons of scrap cast iron were obtained from the engine and other castings on board.Five tandem and four Tangye engines and a large quantity of pig fron were also got from the wreck.\u201cThe four propeller blades, which consisted of either phosphor or mag- anese bronze, and which weighed 14 tons altogether, were taken from the steamer, and realized £1.000 as old metal.\u201d Half the hull of the Australia still remains above the water.and quantities of brass, copper and gun metal have still to be recovered.It is estimated that Mr.Alkman's profits from the wreck approach £ 200.- 900.He has recently bought the Melbourne Coffee Palace, which, with proposed alterations, will cost £100.000 and has also aoquired several other well-known businesses.Why the underwriters never removed the valuabie cargo or falied to realize the value of the vessel itself, is a mystery which may never be solved.Mow Me Earned a Baronetcy.8ir Astley Paston Cooper, who obtained his otherwise nobly-earned baronetcy in reward for an operation upon George IV, wes 80 nervous when called in to perform it that Lord Liverpool, who, with other Cabinet Ministers, was in attendance in the next room.seizing hold of his trembling hand, said: \u201cCourage, courage, Cooper! Remember that this operation either makes or breaks you!\u201d This thought, which you would say was more likely to unnerve than to nerve the great surgeon, is supposed to have braced him up, and he certainly performed the operation with his usual coolness, dexterity, and success.8ir Astley was probably the most famous surgeon in Europe.On one occasion his signature was received as a passport among the mountains of Biscay by the wild followers of Don Carlos; while on another a young doctor, by showing Sir Astley\u2019s signature to his diploma, was at once appointed by the Carlist leader surgeon-in-chief to his army.Dying le Only to Sleep.The Bishop of London is taken to task by the British Medical Journal for some remarks he recently made professing to describe how it feels to

the sale of farms in Manitoba.They left Ganada.says The Sydney Morning Herald.because of the cold and because, in their own words, they heard \u201cthat Tasmania had the finest climate in the world, was free from droughts, and wanting In settlers, and that they would be able to get land on terms similar to those which prevail in Canada\u201d Their experienc: in Tasmania was bitter.\u201cWe arrived.\u201d savs Mr.A.R Stock- dale, one of the party, \u201con a Saturday night.and on the following Monday I and Mr.Moore, who was accompanied by his two sons, called at the Lands Office.We: saw the clerk.told him the facts.and he said he would write to the Minister for Lands.We thought that we could get what are called \u2018settlers\u2019 tickets\u2019 in Canada\u2014railway tickets issued at a reduced rate of a cent (1-24) per mile \u2014 so that we could see the country with a view t5 picking out land without having to spend tos much of our capital to do it.That's the way immigration is encouraged in Canada.The next day I myself wrote a letter tn the Minister for Lands.Although nearly a fortnight has elapsed since this was done, We have not even re- céived the courtesy of a reply, nor has the cierk at the Lands Office receive?any communication on the subject.We have given up expecting any.What do we think of it?We are thoroughiy disgusted, and %e are going back ta Canada They don't want settlers hero.We thoroughly understood farming.and the handling of up-to-date agricultural machinery.We are not men looking for u day's work.We havé been our own bosses in Canada, and have a bit of capital among us.What we want is land upon which to settie down.\u201d There is nothing remarkable in an Australian Lands Department keeping anxious would-b= settlers with money and grit waiting for a few weeks ot months on the door mat.But to these Canadians the absence of Departmental decency must have been an eye-opener.\u201cIn Canada,\u201d they remarked, \u201cyou don\u2019t have to go chasing round after ihe land agent.He looks you up.If you are bona fide you will receive a \u2018settlers ticket\u2019 for the raliway.When you have selected your land you get 160 acres free.All you have to pay is $10 (£2) for clerks and surveyors fees, That goes to the office.You can put your plough in and go straight on, for the biggest part of the coun'ry is cleared ready for the plough\u201d When these Canadians failed to negotiate even the outskirts of the Tasmanian red tape entanglements they wer: advised tn try New South Wales or Queensland.But they had had enough of Australia.and remained firm in their determination to return tc Canada.Tasmanian administration may be somewhat behing that nf some states on the mainland, but, making allowances, this, adds The Herald, is not a very much exaggerated sample of the official humbug which disgusts Jand- seekers in this and some of the othet states.Such an experience should be impossible in any part of the Commonwealth, for this is the sort of incident which, taken in hand and distorted abroad.has a far-reaching effect in discouraging immigration to Australia generally.\u2014London Globe,

has no attractions or temptations for him.In the early days he carried on his business by means of a system of barter, received cordwood, potatoes, and maple syrup for subscriptions.He advertised various persons, associations, and movements for nothing.He was the means of bringing fame and opportunities for wealth to others, seldom ta himself.He was always opening safes for other people, This

with a beautiful face and figure and lovely auburn hair, who is addicted to writing poetry about spring.They were married in due form and went on a honeymoon in Europe.In the course of the tour she

or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude They especially require an invigorate ing, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful.How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per- jonn her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism.Mlle.Alma Robitaille, of 78 rue St.Francois, Quebec, Que., tells women how to avoid such suffering ; she writes : Dear Mrs, Pinkham :\u2014 \u201coverwork and long hours at the office

due to a property that camphor has of moving on water.The particles not only move about, but they rotate on their own axes.This, as some say, is due to the elasticity of the vapor that the camphor

when granting licenses to put a restriction on the sale of intoxicating liquor during the days of the fair in 1906.A petition was circulated and largely signed by the residents and non-residents of the town begging the council for the sake of humanity to prohibit the sale of liquor on the days referred to.This petition was presented at the March session, and after much discussion a resolution was passed, granting a license, sdb- ject to the right of the council ,to restrict the selling of intoxicating liquor during the last two days of the fair, 1906.This license was accepted under those conditions by the applicants who fully expected to have to close the bar during those two days.At the meeting last Monday it was moved by Councillor Miller, seconded by Councillor Benham, that the resolution restricting the sale of liquor on the two exhibition days, be passed.An amendment was was moved by Councillor LaPierre, seconded by Councillor Cooey, that permission be granted to sell liquor only one-half of each day of the fair.The amendment was voted upon, as was also the motion, which resulted in a tie, Councillors La Pierre, Cooey and McLaughlin voting for the amendment.Ben- ham, Miller and Bullard supporting the resolution.Mayor Whitman decided the matter in favor of Hquor being sold.Ît is said that this really gives the hotel keeper power to sell the entire three days of the fair.The clause embodied in the licenses does not allow the council power to restrict the selling of liquors the half of each day.Brome Fair distinguished itself in the fall of 1905 by having more drunken men in evidence than was ever 00D At any preceding fair.Many regret the action of the council ma- ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS.A new by-law has been prepared by the Valleyfleld Council, which provides that no sale or delivery of goods shall take place between7 p.m.and 5 a.m.on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays of each week, from the let of January till the 14th of June, and from the 1st of July till the 14th of December.The by-law, however, does not apply to prohibited days falling on the eve of a statutory holiday.Druggists are permitted to put up prescriptions on prohibited evenings, but are not to sell anything.Storekeepers may do work within their premises, but are to make no sales nor deliver goods.At Sweetsburg, last Thursday Joseph Tetreault pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a horse and rig valued at 8350, and a gold watch and chain from his employer, Mr.Miltimore, a farmer living near Sweetsburg.The accused had been allowed to go on suspended sentence about a month ago upon a charge of having forged an order purporting to be signed by his employer, on a storekeeper in Sweetsburg.It appears that the accused stole the horse and watch while his employer was at church, Hedrove to Newport Centre, where he was traced by the High Constable, and agreed to return without extradition.He pleaded guilty toa previous charge of horse stealing and forgery.He was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.The convict is only twenty years of age.DOG TAXES.By Law No.2%, enacted October 2nd, 1905.provides that \u201cEvery owner, keeper, possessor and harborer
