The ice on the Domain waters has, for the last few days, aff >rded everyone who could akate a fcre&t deal of amusemant and pleasant, j excitement, and those who could only look j on were also provided with a free show and j a fair share of both ; in fact ie is doubtful whether the onlookers did not have quite as much fun as the skaters, if one might ju.lge from the shouts of laughter that continually burst forth as a skater Bab down on the ice vehemently or popped through unexpectedly. The sufferers in such caßes found no sympathy. Just a, minute ! This may mean pounds in your pocket. Knowledge is power ; to know what to do ab the right time strengthens your reputation, people respect and speak about you; for instance, a sensible person that has a bad cough or cold immediately goes fco the grocer or chemist and buys a bottle of Woods' Oreat Pepper mint Cnre, for the simple reason that be knows it will put him and bis family all right Ju 25 The weather prophets predict that the long fine dry spell which we have had will le followed by a very wet and severe winter.
