THE REAL PSOTECTION. There is much talk, in the air about Protection and Tariff Reform. Real protection as regard's everyday articles is what the average person want. Take "Monsters." ht this, the greatest pennyworth of the ago in1 mineral waters, you are protected bv the well-known trade mark upon which; tile proprietors have spent a fortnne- I to protect the buyer—the ordinary i member of the pub, ic~-avs much as to protect themselves. When that mark Monsters" is on a bottle you know you have the safest, most refreshing, the largest pennywort h of mineral vawr in the world—sold in all the; familiar flavours—Ginger Beer, lÆUlon- ade. etc.-III every shcp wher0 you ex- to bu > Mineral Waters. This tr.-acie mewk "Monsters" belongs to Soda- stream. Ltd.. of James-street, Camden Town, London. Any mineral waters other than Monsters" sold in the "Monsters bottles (or any other | bottle not bearing the name "Monsters" bnt soki as "Monsters") is sold frado- leatly, and is an infringement on the trade mark of the proprietors, and as a deception of the public. In such a case the s hopkeeper so selling the<se mineral waters, is liable to heavy damages. Sodastream, Ltd., do not wish to iiokl a pistol to the head of the con- fectionery and refreshment trade, but merely state this fact as mudl for the protection, of the trade as for their own. The only valid authority for the salo of Monsters" must come from the firm; mentioned above.

I CHIEF OFFICER'S STGRY. ) A number of remarkable statements j by Mr. 'J'ufteues, the chief officer, and CWptam Anderson, of the Storstad, were the principal foa-turos of eduesday's isittt_ ng of the official inquiry into the; disaster to the Lmpress of Ireland m Quebec.

Mivluftenes said he was, adding that he thougnt he was en- titJed to keep his course and speed in; a fog. "Providing you do not go at full speed, but at a moderate spaeti." "Why didn't you call the captain j vvht'n the to first appeared asked i 3lr. Aspinall, who represents the Can- adian. Pacific Company. "Because I waited for a few minutes to see if i r would iift again," replied Mr. Tuftenes. But your instructions were to cull toe captain directly to gappea-redi'—j Yes.

"1 should not! know him iL I saw him," was the reply- Captain AMerson's Evidence. Captain Anderson, master of the Storstad, said he was roused by the hlef otlieer telling- lurn that it was getting hazy, and that ^Father Point light was just being shut cut. He went right up and locked into the com- pass. The Empress of Ireland caine ibotit eight hundred feet away some th ree points on the port Ixnv. He telegraphed immediately "Full speed astern." Half a. minute afterwards the collision occurred. Lord Mersey: Captain Kendall says the Umpress of Ireland was stripped You bay that sho W: r.,)ing la6t She was, sir. She must have gone full speed astern and then full speed ahead to cross our how. I estimate tho speed of the Empress of Ireland at eight or tan miles an hour, while my own was a couple of milei.

Anderson said: If my ship had been going fuil^peed, with t.ho weight that was behind her, she would have one clean through the Empress of Ireland.

NO WEDDING BELLS. MISSING BRIDe AT HAFOD: NEIGHBOURS DEMDSTRATE, There have been lively times at Ear!-street Hstod, Swansea This was e-atised by the residents showing their sympathy in a rather remarkaido manner. For countless vesirs noveiis have been woven around romances of May and December, but this is not often met with in real life. However, Earl-street was the scene of an incident which might have been lifted from one of these novels, and the neighb-ourhocd IS still seething with excitement. It appears that a. marriage had been arranged betweesi a maid of seventeen and a marl aged about 06 or thereabouts, a sailor by calling. The wedding was to have taken place by special license at !;3 o'clock on Wednesday morn ins. at St. John's Church. But, alack and aJas the night before, the prospective bride the i i left the house on an errand, and she did not return. The mother went out in search of her, and the nunour having got around that the girl had disappeared, the neighbours came out in force and expressed their disapproval of the match by hissing and hooting the girl's parent. This went on until about 2 o'clock, when, it is said, tn? mother returned to her house, and a constable's pro-sence led to a less de- monstrative show on the part of the neighbours. Wednesday morning arrived—glorious weather for a wedding. The bridegroom and his best man were at the girl's house all ready for the ordeal, but. the girl had not returned. Neither did she return, and the wedding bells did not ring that day.

HOW CHARLIE'S POISONED THUMB GOT BETTER. Zam-Buk Provas A Real Home Doctor. Litt ie. Cnarlip Bidwell, when playing in the house, cut his thumb severely near the nail. "Charlie's thumb swelled alarmingly and the pain went right up his arm," writes Airs. F. Bidwell, from 166, Thoday-street, Cambridge. "I couid see that hlood poison had set in and got I very anxious because tioirc-made remedies had no effect at all. "I was about to take Charlie to a ] doctor when I was persuaded to try Zam-Buk. So 1 got a box of this balri from the chemist, and after dressiog tiip, boy's thumb a few times L ",)u:d see a big improvement. Charlie wai reiasNl iEom ad his pain and the poison was an drawn away. I kept on using Zam-Buk until the boy's thum b was. thoroughly cleansed and healed. "Zam-Buk also cured eczema on my neck." You cannot do better than get a box of Zam-Buk t-o-day to have ready for accidents or any sign of skin disease or soreness. Zam-Buk balm is never sold from door to door, but at the chemists and drug stores. Beware ox fraudulent and worthless imitations.
