PerioiiR from the warmer, southern climes may shiver at our wii.ters, but to us the winter his a charm that no sun-baked land could hare. The cold of winter and the heat of summer combine to make Canadian life the most congenial, and but emphasize the joys of the varied seasons. On Christmas eve ic was possible to observe nature in the act of painting a most eii|uisit« landscape. The air of the early evening had been tilled with a cold, damp mist. As the evening grew older a sliicht western breeze sprang up, with the result that the ni st beffan to iniive. In a short time the western side of all th« trees had assumed a sparkling while coat of hoar frott. The effect was particularly beautiful .')n the evergreens, which were dirkly green on one side, while on the other the pale, cold moon shimmered and vbstenod iii a mass of white. Latfr on the leeward sides of the treei assumed their coat of hoar frost, and the landscape was completed. In the moruinK the scene wai one of brightly shilling trees of white staiidinit where before were green trees â€" and the unshapely bared branches of the maple and liesch st the touch of the magiciiin'a wand had become things of beauty. The •ceno was one of transfiguration that would strike aflmiration even from the iieatt of the sun-scorched southerner who knows not the charm of tha crackle of the blazing lo^son a cold winter's night. It is such antics of nature an this that gains for the winter* snows of the Cana- dian land the popularity which they re- ceive, and so richly dessrve. pressing interests. Cunan Doyle places himself on record as being an ardent I to think that crushed stone piled on supiiortor of the rin?. and then lieKins to. "good and thick" will of itself make jdefendir.

This is what hu said last week in reference to the matter: Thu Markdalo Standard appropriated the item and publiahed it without giving credit. And worst of all, the Toronto Kuws used tha same paragraph in its issue of Monday last and gave the S'tan- dar<l credit for it. Having sworn off the use of cuss words we are rdiliged to usk our omteiuporanes to "take thcin aa read."' While we would not sinftle The Stan- dard out as a notorious offender, yet in this case the rebuke isdeaervnd. In our list of thirty or forty exchanges only tliraa have the courtesy to invariably extend credit for articles they copy from The Advance. We refer to The Burks Falla Arr<5w, The Owen Sound Advertis- er, and the Durham Chronicle. The leant courteous ('f our exchanges in this respect is The Owen Sound Sun, Muxt in line is thu CoUingwood Bulletin closely followed by various others. If an article is worth copying it is «urely worthy of credit to the paper of its (public ition. oversee roads. While school ma'ams are not the most highly paid of laborers, yet their very services constitute in a large de- gree their own reward. In any event a sense of linmor ia bound to find Conai: Doyle, that it re(|uirru defence, and requires it badly. In fact it would take a heap of defence to make it respect- able. Such, in shot t, is the opinion of tl:o writer. We fail to see what credit is due to a man because he can artistically 6ni<uh another man between the eyes, and then preten; his opponent from planting one on his countenance in return.

The re- sult will be observed Nuih interest. The nomination of the Flesherton Police Trustees continues to bo as great a farce as ever. There were 18 ratepayers present on Monday even- ing. The reason for the indifference may be ascribed to various influences. In the first place, the meeting is arnonnccd by a little flimsy typewrit- ten sheet in an endeavor to keep down the printer's bill. Then there is so little money involved in the year's expenditure that there is uo occasion for a great crowd at the nomination. J. A . Doyd suggested making some necessary heavy expenditures and " make 'em pay for it, and^inch 'em a bit, (ind they'll come out." As Mr. Boyd is an extensive ratepayer hid( words are void of the recklessness which would appear on the surface. When the nominations were being, received one man said "you dont want , enough to make au election," and was) be superior to any ot the white, am- ' monia liniments. In his twenty-five years ot practice he had witnessed cases of rheumatism, sciatica, and lumbago that simply would not re- spond to ordinary treatment â€" but Ncr- vlUne cured them. The same physi- cian also spoke of the great advant- llkc be- cause of cramps, diarrhoea, stomach disorders, earache, toothache, head- ache, and such minor allmenta. Nor- vlUne Is a flrst-clas^ cure. There Is scarcely an ache or a pain, Internal or external, that NcrvlUne won't cure. In thousands of homes no other paln- rellevlng medicine Is used. Fifty years' continued success and the en- dorsement ot the profession are proof that Nervlllno Is the liniment for the home. Many people have clunjr to the old- fashioned idea that a . thick, greasy liniment is the best kind. Doctors say not â€" and they know. Recently a number of these white, oily liniments were analyzed, and they were found to contain an enormously high percenta^ro of harmful acids, and such irritating chemicals as ammonia, etc. For the moment they may cause a warm sensation when first applied, but their continued use never cures rheumatism, and only deteriorates the skin, sets up Inflammation and causes endless trouble. When a doctor warns you to quit using a white, oily liniment â€" do so. He knows that a thick liniment can't pen- etrate, can't sink through the pores and reach the seat of the pain. When asked his opinion a few days ago. Dr. Roberts stated that he consid- ered a strong, penetrating, paln-sub- dulng liniment such as "NervlUne," to aswered "No." We would like to know why an election is not to be For 40 years it has been the custom >desired. Should the Police Trustees of the Methodist Babbath school lalways be elected by acclamation? here to have a stated admission fee Are not the ratepayers to have an ages of keeping a preparation at its annual entertainment, but this opportunity to exercise their right to year a different tack is being taken.,'* private ballot?
