The following obituary notice we copy from the Brussels Post of Dee- ember 17ch. Deceased was a brother of Mr. Geo. Hislop of Strasburg and resided in Waterloo County when he first came from Scotland foe about A Worthy Resident Passes Away, -After a severe illness extending over 31 months, John Hialop, an old, well known and highly esteemed resident of the 14th con, passed away from time on Tuesday morning about 6 o'clock, in his 75:h year. Deceased was born in Selkirkshire, S30tland, and worked at railrotdiog at and near E linburgh for a time. He came to Canada in 1849 living for about 3 years in Water, loo County, and in 1852, along with his father, 4 brothers and a sister, Mr. Hislop moved into fhey, then a com- parative wilderness, and took up the farm, lot 2, lich con., upon which he continuously resided until the summons came on Tuesday. About 42 years ago he was. united in marriage to bliss) Catharine Sillers, of this township, who pre-deceased him over two years ago Mrs. Hislop was a helpmeet indeed to her husband a Id they by industry, frugality, and economy made for themselves a very comfortable home. The subject of this notice took an act- ive interest in public aifcirs. He was township Treasurer for 11 years and afterwards sat in the Town. ship Council for eleven years as Councillor and 1st Deputy Reeve Mr. Hislop also served as school trustee and was noted for his strict integrty in all duties that pertained to an; position either personal or public. In the long ago he met with an accident, while chopping, in which bis left foot was seriously iijured by a glanzing blow from the axe, and from which he was alwaysa little lame. Three month, and a half ago gangrene set in the toes of this foot and at times since then, de, spite all that could be done, the patient sutfered a good deal and gradually wasted away, although his splendid constitution warded off the final shock in a manner that surprised many. Four sons and two daughters survive viz '.--- John, Archie and Andrew, of Grey; William, of Assinaboia, N.W.T. , and Misss Annie, homestead, and Miss Maggie, of Chicago. Mr, Hislop was a Liberal in politics and a Presbyterian in religion. The funeral on Thursday was largely attended, 120 rigs being ‘counted. Rev, John Ross B. A ,Brus- sols, conducted the service. PETER N, LAING Peter N, Laing, one of the oldest pioneers of North Eisthope passed away on Friday morning, January 14th at the ripe age of 89 years, 11 months and 14 days. He was the son of the late Robert Liing, a native of Ber- wickshire, Scotland. In 1839 deceased was married to Helen Lsing, also a native of Berwickshire, who survives him, They came from Peterborough to North Easthope in 1841 and lived for a time on the farm now owned by Harry Paterson; from there he moved to the farm now in the possession of Geo. Callin, where he remained for nine years, He disposed of this prop- erty and retired to live in Stratford for three years. Taking a liking to farm life he purchased the farm of the late Jas.

It has made its titles famous by their uniqueness. Its ‘Side Talks With Girls.’ 'Heart to Heart Talks' and 'Unknown Wives of Well. Known Men' have been ridiculed and paraphrased from one end of the of the country to the other. But it has all been grist for the Phildelphiw period. ical. Just now the title of 'The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Member's Wde' is attacting attention. Julia Magruder’s new love-story is given the title of 'A Hesven-Eigsing Hill'--talren from Shakespeare, really, but who but the Journal would have thought of it? Marion Crawford’s new story is called 'The Dead Sinile'--a tit'e good enough to sell any story. ‘The Man I Never Married' is tacked to a new series. 'The Man Under Thires-Ne' made the rep- utation of Lilian Bell in this magazine. 'My Literary Passions,' under which Mr. Howells wrote in the Journal, served at once to attract attention, Jullan Hawthorne sends a strong story to the magazine, but with a poor title. It is immediately rechristened 'There are no Wolves in Ireland.' Yet each title adopted by this clever magazine fits the story and is really the best cap- tion for it. ‘A Minister of the World' started that story on its success. 'Mr, Beecher’s memoirs of her husband. ‘The Gentleman Whois Going to Die' is the caption for a forthcoming story by Clara Morris. Talk about clever- ness in titles, what magazine is such a pastmaster in the art as is The Ladies’ Home Journal? And a newspaper man knows how difficult this art of title, making is, Bat nothing is so valuable in attracting the eye of the public.

For a great many years the Galt Pub'ic School Board has appointed one of its number secretary-treasurer, and at the end of the year made him a grant of 875, At the end of last year considerable opposition was raised to the making of the usual grant, on the ground of its illegality. Since that; time some investigation has been made into the meaning oi the clause of the Ontario Schools Act bearing on this point, with the result that; at the statutory meeting, held last week, the new board appointed an outsider, Mr. Albert MoCree, secretary-treeeurer, in the plaice of Dr. Thomson, a. trustee, who has held the position for several years. Nearly every School Board in the province appoints one of its number secretary-treasurer, and makes him a. grant, a proceeding which is andoubt- edly illegal. The Mother-1n Law Should be Treated With Speelal Defepenee. "Bear anything before you permit yourself to complain to your husband of his mother's faults," writes Mrs Burton Kingsland on "The Duty of the D snag/er-its-Law," in the February LADIES’ HomE JOURNAL.

Patent Report, For Over Fifty Years LOOKED M DEATH As the Only Means of Relief from Bright's Disease. But Dodd's Kidney Pills again Proved Their, Value-seven Boxee Cured MP. McIntosh, Who, it was Thought Must Die, Thamesville, Jan., 31.-The resi- dents of Thamesville will zealously enter into the project of erecting a monumena to theamemory of Dr. Dodd, the discoverer of Dodd's Kidney Pills. While Dresden can rightfully claim that a. very large number of lives ahave been saved, in that town, by this bless. ed remedy, yet its splendid work has not been limited to that town. Through out the western peninsula ot Ontario this great medicine) known and used, for experience has proved beyond dis.. pute, that it is the only cure for Bright's tDisease. Diabetes, and all other forms of Kidney' Disease. The case of Mr, A, McIntosh,:of the Clifford House, Dresden, is well known o the people of Thamesville. It was indeed a marvellous recovery, for few, if any, of our citizens thought he could gets better. It was firmly believed that death alone could put; an end to his sufferings Although it was known that Dodd's Kidney Pills had cured many severe cases of Brighths Disease, it was thought the disease had secured too firm a hold in Mr. McIntosh’s case for even that medicine to avail against it. But only one box of .Doddu Kidney Pills was needed to prove that the medicine is just as sure a. cure in the worst and most. hopeless case, as in the mildest. Before Mr. McIntosh has been using them a week he began to improve. Soon it was seen that he was indeed recovering, and Dodd's Kidney Pills had gained one more splendid victory. Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by all druggists at fifty cents a box, six boxes for $2 50, or they will be sent on receipt of price by The Dodds Medicine Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont, A GENT.u--"The best Life of Her Majesty have seen.” writes Lord Lorne about “Queen Victoria."

The strong interest which attaches itself to Pope Leo and to the Vatican makes especially readable "A Private Audience With the Pope," in the February LADIES' Home JOURNAL. It is from the pen of Inez Merrill, an American Woman, and is cleverly de- scriptive. "Ae the Pope entered the room all present knelt," she says, and goes on to explain ' "We had no deft nite Idea of the etiquette of the occa- sion, so we proceeded as we thought best. He came to our party almost at once, and addressed me firsst,fle speaks French to the general public; to priests he speaks Latin.

Circulars free. - "Six priests kept close to the Pope as he moved about the room, One of them was an interpreter, who supplied the missing links in the conversation it necessary, in order, I suppose, to make the occasion less tedious to the Pope. However, the Holy Father spoke distinctly and slowly, and in spite of the excitement of the moment we were able to understand all that he said. "Pope Leo XIII looks very old,very feeble, with that pallor peculiar to age; his eyes and black and shining, but withal kindly; his thin, white hair and noble brow would incline one to a feeling of reverence even if he were not a Pope. He is of medium height, and his shoulders are a little rounded, as might be in one who looks down from such an elevation as his, His smile-that veryum1clrtallred-ot smile --is benign. He wore a. bright red cloth of the most beautiful texture. This was closelrbuttoned to his feet, Over this was a. pure white garment made of some soft material, and it is in this that most of his photographs are taken. On his head he wore the small skull-cap called the zucchetta. It, too, is pure white. There is a tassel hang- ing down to one side. The thought that Popes for centuries had been wearing garments precisely similar to these lent an added interest to this quiet person, moving unobtrusively around, among his guests. On his hands he wore mitts ot white wool." Something is needed to check disease and start the system in the right direction toward health.
