Fruitj Growers and others interested in the industry are cordially invited to' be present and take part in the proceedings. Since reorganizing last April thi-* Association has trebled in membership and now includes the great bulk of the most progressive fruit growers of the province. This meeting will be arranged to encourage an exchange of ideas and conclusions on the results of the past season and will be valuable in assisting fruit growers to plan for next season's work. The fruit season of, 1910, now practically closed, marks a new high record for total shipments and total returns received.^ The Association meeting will give yourself a good opportunity to talk over methods of increasing the net prices to the grower without increasing it to the consumer. The particular problems for careful discussion will be fiirst freight and express rates. C.P.R. and Dominion Express officials have accepted an invitation to be present. Strong committees on this subject have been appointed and resolutions sent into the secretary on any point concerning special freight rates and service will receive careful and impartial consideration.

I ^ Takes a Little Whirl at the Skating Rink. HE FAILS TO SHOW 'EM HOW. Joshed as "Old Beeswax" and Told Not to Put ;Erri On���������Home For Repairs, as Mrs. Bowser Had Predicted���������He i Hears a Few Remarks. By M. QUAD. {Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary i'ress.J HE other'evening ns Mr. Bowser got up from the dinner table he mentioned in a way he meant to he careless that he would be out for two of three hours that evening. ' "Is it one of .vour club nights?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "I may go around to some club." ' Mrs. Bowser didn't press the subject, though a bit furious, and he waited .around for live minutes before saying: "There's no mystery about it. I am going out with Barnes. lie's been at uie for a month to go to the roller riuli, and I've finally consented. Tie wants nie to show lilm a few tricks on the rollers." | "What rollers'/" "Why, roller stiiites. tie's got the craze bad���������oul every night and bragging what a roller he is." "But what do you know about roller skating? The only time you ever had o pair on you fell and jarred the whole house and was lame for u week." "Excuse tne, madam." said .Mr. Bowser as he drew himself tip, "but I beg to dispute you. I don't say that I have liad any great pnii-rlco. but 1 have looked into the theory carefully, aud 1 think I can show Barnes and all the rest of thorn a few wrinkles." . "Are you going to Dike tin ambu lance and a'surgeon along?" she asked as he reached for liis hat. "That will do. Mrs. Bowser: You'd oppose mc as a matter of course, but don't try' to be funny about it. I shall go with Barnes. 1 shall put on rollers. 1 shall cut pigeon wiugs and figure - FKBSH VOl'NO MAS ADVISES III SI. eights and throw in a few Creek cross es and Itoiiiiin scrolls. It will lake the stiffness out of that left knee. You needn't sit up for mo." "If you are badly injured I suppose thoy will take you to the hospital and notify me?" Mr. Bowser choked back a reply, descended the steps witli dignity and walked away to join Barnes on the comer. Mrs. Bowser road ber book tin ,til bedtime, but before going upstairs she laid out on a side table the cam phor, the witch hazel, the brandy, a roll of antiseptic and a bos of salve. Mr. Bowser had made but one single trial of roller skating, aud that was iu his attic at home. lie had wabbled along for twenty feet and then met his Waterloo. lie had confidence, however. He had read that roller skating depended altogether on confidence. In his confidence he had bragged to Barnes.- In his confidence he bragged again as they walked along the street. He smiled in a knowing way and said: 'Tin not after a gold medal for fancy Bkating. but I think I'll open the eyes of the crowd a little before I'm through. I'll play off at first, aud you watch my zigzags when I get dowu to business. I'm no swan or gazelle, but ] think I can cut a few. dodges-just a few." j Bowser Reaches the Rink. ' The hall was crowded. It was not nutll Mr. Bowser saw 300 rollers roll- lug around that his confidence in himself weakened. It suddenly occurred to hltn that ills theories might be wrong and (hat he should have put them into practice in private. He was trying to brace up againRt the uneasy feeling when a bad faced young man, who was a spectator, sidled up to him tiDd whispered: "Don't put 'em on, old Beeswax��������� don't you do It!" "What do you mean, sir, by addressing me in this manner?" "Don't put ou the rollers. Yer too fat nnd loggy. You hain't got no hair- to fall on. Yer might roll down hill In a bar'l, but you ain't no pigeon winger on skates!" Mr. Bowser got m-nd all over, and from that Instant his determination was taken ne would skim that floor as the gull skims the sea, and after the skimming act lie would'make that bad faced young man beg his pardon for the insulting remarks. lie sat down then and there and strapped on the skates he had hired at the door. "How are you gwltig to start in?" asked Barnes, as all was ready. "He'll start in with a fllptlop and a dumdum!" chuckled the bad faced young man. "Wheu he gets out dere on rollers dere'll be a circus to beat de band. Look at de heft of him! Look at de curves in his hind legs! I wouldn't miss de circus for a hat full of cigars!" Mr. Bowser was reaching out for the young man with the Intention of wrecking his life when Barnes patched up a temporary peace and suggested that the ctirlycues begin. Mr. Bowser looked up at the heavens and down to the earth. There was no escape. The oilier skaters began to clear the floor for him. "Look at him���������he's lost his sand!" shouted the bad face, "lie's too Innocent!" shouted others. "Better try to fide a mule," advised a policeman as he came forward. "Bowser, you go In and astonish 'em," whispered Barnes. "They take you for a greenhorn. Play off a few minutes aud then go at the pigeon wiugs." He Loses Sand. "I���������I think I'll let it go till some other time," was the trembling reply. "But you can't, man���������you can't. You'd be mobbed!" "Can't I go home and see Mrs. Bowser and then come back again? Mrs. Bowser always cheers me up." "Ileavens. man. come along with you! Take it easy uutil you get the rhythm of the thing." "Oh. he'll get the rhythm all right, all right!" grinned the bad face, and it was those words that decided .Mr. Bowser. lie was. helped out on the floor und left there alone. I-'lve hundred had their eyes on him. After a minute of silence 500 people began shouting at him. Bowser moved. He moved again. He moved for the third time. Confidence ciime. He could do the trick, lie smiled aud started out with a rush. Ills theory about roller skating was that it should be rushed al to a conclusion, lie rushed St. At, his first rush his heels shot forward, his body shot backwurd. and after an instant he came down with a crash. He came down on the back of his head. He saw a comet, and the tail thereof was a hundred million miles long. He did uot hear what tbe people said, bul when ho recovered consciousness he had been dragged off the floor and a policeman was saying: "Now, old man. if you have any home to go to you'd better get there. Your line is Jumping eight horses and an elephant, aud you should stick to it.and let the rollers alone." Mr. Barnes first talked to Mr. Bowser like a brother and then offered to get a truck to take him home. He called him a braggart and boaster aud said he ought to be mobbed for making a holy show of himself. ..Then he solicitously inquired how many of his legs and backs he had broken and put the blame on the crowd. Home With a Limp. "But I'm sayin' de old coon orter git de hard chuck!" protested the bad face. "It's false pretenses. He conies In here"��������� It took Mr. Bowser an hour to limp home. Mrs. Bowser heard his dragging footsteps and came down lo open the door. One look told the story. He had met the enemy and the enemy had flopped him on his ear. "Woman," he began as he threw down his hat and hung to a peg of the halltree. "wonmu"��������� But Mrs. Bowser stopped him with n gesture. Then she gently helped him back to the sittiug room, carefully lowered him ou to the lounge, aud when his legs had been straightened out she softly said: "Poor man! 1 thought you would change your mind and climb a tree instead of going roller skating. A limb broke, aud you came down and struck the whole United States at once. It may take you years and years to reduce this bump on the back of your head and to get that twist out of your spine, but dou't worry. You have a long and happy life before you. and the pigeon wings und curlycues will come again." Ready For the Heckler. As his name indicates, Mr: Andrew Ronar Law, M..P.', who has completod his fifty-second year, is a Scot. However, lie can also claim to be a Canadian, for he first saw the light in the Dominion, his lather being the Rev. James Law, ALA., of New Brunswick. Mr. Bonar Law first entered Parliament in 1900. At a demonstration in Glasgow lie referred to Mr, Balfour's attitude on the fiscal question. He pointed out that "the English people love a compromise," and instanced the course taken by Henry VIII. at the time of the Reformation, where MISERABLE WITHn DYSPEPSIA upon the following question was hand ed up to be answered: "Is the candidate aware that Mr. Balfour is a bachelor, and- that Henry VIII. was much the reverse?" "Yes,'' replied the candidate, "but possibly Mr. Bal-' four might not be a bachelor if he could be sure of-getting rid of his wives as easily as Henry VIII." "Farmer Brown." An interesting centenarian is Mr. William Brown, of Elthain, Eng., ���������known in the district as Farmer Brown���������who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. His vitality is amazing. A clay or two before his birthday, for instance, he mowed the lawn with a scythe, and in the afternoon went for a walk. He enjoys a smoke, but says that he "ought to ha' gone years ago. I' have always enjoyed uncommon health," he continued. "Keep clear of doctors und lawyers, 1 say." A noteworthy fact regarding Fanner Brown is that in his youth he helped George Stephenson to make the railway from Liverpool to Chester. Another.

Sword stands came into use in London churches when it became customary to carry the city sword before the lord mayor as he went to church in state. During service tho sword was placed in the stand or case provided for it, and in his own church tlie lord mayor generally had the stand placed conveniently near to or in his family pew. This custom, which was quite common before the end of the sixteenth century, apparently began in the reign of Elizabeth. The state visits to the city churches were discontinued in the mayoralty of Sir R. N. Fowler, 1883.��������� London Standard. ��������� * Finance of Matrimony.

How many worried, worr.-out. mothers, whose children are suffering with eczema, tetter or other torturing, dlsfieurine humor, have asked themselves this question! Through neglect or Improper treatment, some minor eruption has developed Into a distressing and unsightly affliction. Slmplo treatments fail, and stronger ones are tried, sometimes so harsh that the suffering Is increased rather than allayed. Even professional aid has proven ueeless, and the fear Is ever-present that the skin dlseaso will become chronic, turning the child's future Into a nightmare of physical and mental misery. Such mothers, who have witnessed their, children's suffering and who have undergone the long, sleepless nights and dlstrncthiB anxiety which they alone can realize, will understand the gratitude thut prompted this letter from Mrs John Ewan, fi,.Victoria St., Inverurie, Scotland, and will read It with keenest Interest: "I usoCutlcura Soap steadily for my baby's skin. She had the eczema when she was three months uid. Sho was In an awful mess nil over her body. We never thought 6li������ would get over It. We sat with hernlghtandday for about a month, expecting every minute to see her die. The doctor gave tne an ointment to rub her with but It did her no good. My mother was home from America and she told ' me to try Cutlcura Ointment and to wash her with Cutlcura Soap. There was a great difference when I used the flrst box. It seemed to soothe her and *-lic slept. I used three boxes of Cutlcura Ointment nnd she was quite cured. She has the purest skin and Is the fattest baby now! She fs a miracle, the doctor declares. I am glad to tell anybody about It." And that tho success of the Cutlcura Remedies Is not confined to the treatment of eczema, Is amply proven by Mrs. M. A. Schwerln. 674 Sprlngwells Ave., Detroit, Mich., who writes: "When my little Vlvlnn was nbout six months old, her papa had a boil on his forehead. At that tlmo the child was covered with prickly heat and I suppose In scratching It her own head became Infected, for It broke out In bolls, one after another. She had about sixty In all and I used Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment which cured her of them entirely.

Poor Norwegian's Gratitude to Surgeon Who Saved His Life. Ever since he was first called to attend the late Queen Victoria', Sir; Frederick Treves, who has\ipeen.- on a visit to the King at Balmoral/'has^' been very popular with all the members of the royal family, and-among: the many favorsN which, have been conferred upon him, is the very^ rare distinction of being''allowedHo' add' to his shield one of the lions from the Royal Arms. Sir Frederick was born at Dorchester fifty-seven years ago, and when he was four-and- twenty, and a surgeon with all his way to make, he married a Dorchester lady, Miss Annie Mason. Four years later he found himself- Hunterian Professor of Anatomj; J .and'** ,Wilsbn'. Professor of Pathology at the Royal"* College of Surgeons; ��������� and "thereafter" went from high to higher. He was consulting surgeon-, to"-,the> British forces in South Africa, and-'was with"-' -'the Ladys.mith relief .column, .for which he is in possession of a medal and three clasps. The . famous surgeon is the author of many valuably surgical books, and is credited with' having performed'1,000 operations"for appendicitis without a single death. Sir Frederick has'in.his possession a coin to which a touching" story'- is attached. Many years ago- a poor ,Norwegian was taken to a big London hospital from an illness which prevented him from ^earning his'living. Sir Frederick operated upon., him,, and completely cured him of his trouble. Some weeks afterwards the man called upon Sir Frederick at'hia private residence, and, 'much to"his surprise, presented him' with "a "coin". At first Sir Frederick refused to take it4-but the man would not be put off.- "It is now three years'- since 'I' left my native land," he said,-"and before I came away my wife gave me this coin and told me never, to part with it unless I was starving.. It is'not worth anything to you, biit the/value to me I cannot' express."

They Soothe Excited Nerves.���������Nervous affections are usually attributable to defective digestion, as the stomach dominates the nerve centres. A course of Pur melee's Vegetable Pills will still all disturbances of this character, and by restoring the stomach to normal action relieve the nerves from irritation.

THE RACKING PAINS OF RHEUMATISM Can Only Be Cured Through the Blood-Try Dr. Williams' PinK Pills Which Act Directly On the Blood. Eheumatism will rack you just as long as there is acid ih the blood to cause rheumatism. -That's the whole trouble���������acid in-,the blood. Cold, damp weather may start the pains going but it is not the cause. That is rooted in the blood and can only be cured tlnough the blood. Years ago when medical science did not know as much about the complaint as today, rheumatic sufferers were given something to rub on the swollen tender joints. Some people who do not know any better still adhere to tlie old fashioned way, but it does not cure their rheumatism���������and never will. When the acid is driven from the blood the rheumatism is* gone���������it's cured. The thing is to get the right medicine to drive the acid out. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured more cases of rheumatism than any other disease except anaemia. They do this because they enrich the blood supply, thus toiling up the system to a point where the rheumatic acid is expelled through the natural channels and the trouble disappears. They were intended to do this and they do it thor- ougnly. Mr. Henry O'Donoghue, Viscount, Sask., says: "AboutJour years ago I came here from Scotland for the purpose of taking up land. Even at so recent a date as this the country was quite different from what it is today. Then the neaiest shack to me was ten miles distant, "and the nearest town much further away. In those days homeoteading was not all sunshine, and in the spring of 1907 I contracted a severe cold. I had never been sick in my life before, and paid no attention to the cold, and almost before I realized it I was down with an attack of pluerisy and as the pains of this trouble began to leave me those of rheumatism set in, aiid my sufferings were something tenible. Help was sent for, but it did nie no good, nor did the medicine given me have any effect, and for live months I was confined to the house. Then one day I had an unexpected visit from my brother, who came from Australia, and whom I had not seen for nine years. When he saw my condition he at once urged nie to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills', as he knew of a number of cases in which they had made marvellous cures in Australia. The result was he went to town and purchased six bozes, and before I had used the last-box 1 was out working with my oxen and am now as healthy as any man in the province. For this i must thank the Pills and my brother's advice, and 1 strongly recommend the Pills lo other rheumatic sufferers Minard's Liniment Cures .Colds,-&c. ��������� Not long ago a warship of the Atlantic squadron called for a few hours at a miiitaiy post on the coast of Ireland.

Average Englishman In India Looks Down Upon the Hindoo. , Very few ,natives are admitted to the, circles of British society in In- .dia,.writes .Frank G. Carpenter. The average Englishman looks'upon the _Hindoo. as of a lower race than him-, self,'and he will not allow him to bi* a member of his club, or to come to .his house as a guest. This is especially true of the officials of the lower . classes; but less so of those who are high up in,the Government, although even among these there is now and then an -exception.. A story is current about a well-known officer of the army who was riding on the cars in the same, compartment with a cul- -jtured Hindoo.'-. .-The army officer had .'been-hunting'and was tired out. Dur- .ing. the-journey he made the Hindoo gentleman get down on his knees and massage his * legs from ankles to thighs: The high caste to which this man belonged was scandalized at the treatment and the "action caused considerable.comment. The better classes' of.;the natives say such treatment is insulting,' and 'they object to any difference being made between them and the British. This is one of the ,causes of tho unrest of to-day. Even worse thanUhe position of the Hindoos, is that of the Eurasians, or half-castes. These are the offspring of East Indian women and the various Europeans who have come here from time to time. Many are half Portuguese, "others half French and others half British. There are also quarter breeds and eighth breeds, or Indian mulattoes and octoroons. But whatever- the cross- it is considered a disgrace by both native and foreign- ,.er. They are always well marked. ,*-The men are usually dark, and although the women are beautiful and now' and then fair, you can always distinguish the Asiatic blood in their features. * ���������"',' These Eurasians" are usually sub- 'ordinate* clerks." Many of them go into trade and make money, and now and then one rises to honorable distinction.'* But they always flock by themselves, having their own society, with customs the same as the English.

A Tireless Worker So Long as Supplied With Rich, Red Blood The brain is one of the most patient and iudusttious organs of the body. It can be induced, by good treatment, to perfoim prodigies.ot woik. But it is sensitive and will not brook abuse. It responds to the lash at fitst, but if the lush is laid on too hard it balks. The biain insists on having plenty of good, red blood wherewith to renew its waste and from which to manufacture the nerve fotce supplied to the whole body. Nervous trpuble is generally brain tiouble, and no suffering is to be com pared to mental suffering, with the accompanying dread, suspicion and melancholy. Oue-tifth of the blood in the human body is consumed by the brain, so make the blood rich and led by using Dr. Cliaje's Nerve F'ofid, and you will overcome diseases of the neives. There is no other way. Stimulants arouse "false hope. Narcotics deaden the nerves, and temporary relief is followed by a condition which is worse than tlie first. Get the blood right and the nervous system will adjust itself. Headaches will disappear, irritability will go, digestion will improve, and weakness and despondency will give place to new hope and courage, new vigor and energy. Mrs. Geo. Fuller, Lakeland, Man., writes:���������"Dr. Chafe's -Nerve Food cuied me of nervous headache, from which 1 was a great sufferer, and 1 am no longer troubled with twitchings of the nerves in the arms and legs." Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food will enable you to avoid such extreme nervous trouble as prostration and paralysis. 50 cents a box, C boxes for $2 50, at all dealets or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto. Grave of Maurice. The Rev. John Frederick Denison Maurice, one of the most influential thinkers and social reformers of the middle of the last century, and a friend of, Tennyson and Kingsley. passed away April 1, 1872, and wa? buried- at (Highgate. Yet, according to the Rev. J. Capel Hanbury, his grave cannot now be "discovered. "Some time ago," says Mr. Hanbury, writing to The Guardian, "I ���������made a pilgrimage to Highgate cemetery to visit the grave of my reverend teacher. Professor F. D. Maurice. After considerable discussion as to the spelling of the name, the clerk gave me a ticket showing the situation and number of the grlfte. It was at the upper end of the cemetery, where the grass was high ,and the paths overgrown. "After a long and fruitless search, thinking that my old eyes were at fault, I engaged the services of two of the workmen of the cemetery, and together we traversed the whole area indicated on my ticket. All in vain; the grave could not be found.,' It was poor consolation to be told by- the clerk that no one ever asked -where Mr. Maurice was buried, and it made me stid to think that the last earthly restintr-place of a man to whom the Church of England is under such inestimable obligations should seem to be neglected and forgotten." Commenting on the pain that will be caused to many by the fruitless search for the grave of Maurice, The Guardian recalls the inquiry directed to him by a lady, who asked, "Shall we know, each other in Heaven?" to which he replied with the question: "Do we know each other on earth?" There are probably some of his friends who will attempt to rectify the lack of identification in Highgate. DR.

At one of Brituin's most important foreign forts the soldiers were once badly trapped, says a London paper in an article on the present spy scare in England. It was known that a Teutonic spy was in the vicinity, bent on making plans, and so the sentry on a magazine, one moonlight night, kept eager watch, and soon was startled by a loud rustling in the adjacent trees. Going cautiously forward, he suddenly observed the figure of a man perched high on the bough of a tree, half hidden by the leaves. The sentry's first impulse was to use the business-end of his bayonet; on second thought, he determined to constrain his captive to his uncomfortable perch all night. The idea was thoroughly to the taste of the relieving sentries, each of whom, during his two hours' duty, stood right under the tree, gazing exultantly at the figure aloft, and indulging in satirical remarks, anything but complimentary or consoling. At dawn, a triumphant guard proceeded to dislodge the captive. He responded not to their taunts; he did not budge an inch. A private at once climbed aloft, and, in doing so, shook down a lifelike effigy! By this clever ruse, the spy had effectually diverted attention whilst acquiring the information'he required, and departed.
