We happen,. to know Shit: the ealary is behind sever al t enth8. and "our pastor" is sorely premed for the necessaries of life. What magnificent work that pastor could do if his congregation came up to the full measure of their respouri- bility in all respects, and especially if his mind here "free from worldly cares and avocations." Your preacher seems "too anxious about his pay," did you say? Well we don't blame him. If you were a lit- tle more anxious about it, it wouldn't be necessary for him to be. The secular press does some strange things, upon sports and sins it often looks with a magnifying glace, while it peeps at religious interests through the little end of the telescope. On Nov. 3 the Prince of Wales opened with the most imposing ceremonies the Truro cathedral built in Eng- land by the Established Church since the Reformation. The dailies which fell under our eye stated the fact in about six lines; while "Buffalo Bill's" exploits with the Prince, and John Sullivan's meeting with His Royal Highness, received columns of atten- tion. We are told that the seculrr press reflects in its columns the wants of thepeople. Maybe it is true, but to say so is sometimes a great reflect- ion on the people. Let us have more of the Golden Rule, leas of the one-sided achemiugs, frankand open conference between the repreeentatives,of apparently an- tagonizing interests, and start the New year with the ethics of the Ser- mon on the Mount. Then this broad fair land will bloom under the smile of the God who loves ue all. The photographer's lenses ie more discerning than the naked eye. A recent photograph of a figure paint- ing by an American artist shows that a woman's gown wad first painted a hue and texture very different from that finally chosen, ;the underlying, brushwork appearing plainly in the photograph, though not seen by the most attentive observer of the origin- al picture. In like manner photo- grapby reveals stars that to a human eye are not distinguishable from ne- e. bulous matter. He leyoung enough who has health and he is rich enough who has no debts. It is the struggle, and not the at- tainment, that measures character. WILL YOU READ THIS FOR $500? For many years the manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who are abundantly responsible financial- ly, as any one can easily ascertain by enquiry, have offered, in good faith, a standing reward of $500 for a case of nasal catarrh, no matter how bad or of how long atanding,which they can- not cure. The Remedy is sold by druggists at 50 cents. A CURIOUS DISCOVERY. THE SENSATION CREATED BY 'A JAPANESE PEASANT WOMAN. A young Japanese peasant woman has created a genuine sensation in the medical circles of the east with a new theory and cure of rheumatism. Her theory is that it is caused by a small insect under the skin, that gnaws and bites the muscles and thus causes the twinges of pain and the un- told misery of that ailment. A grizzled and skeptical sea captain placed himself under her care and, after foot baths of bran and hot rice brandy, she nipped from his knees email white insects by the dozen! The regular practitioners were skeptical about this new theory, and put one of the insects under a micro- scope. They decided that by its organism it never could have lived under the surface of the skin. The Captain insists, however, that the Japanese woman has taken ;the insects from his knees and ankles by the hundreds, in his eight, and killed them, and that he grows better after eech treatment ! This theory, absurd as it seems, is really not much more so than the theories formerly held by the medical fraternity. It used to be thought a trouble of the joints, and was treated as such until it was demonstrated that the treatment brought no lasting results. 1'Then, as the muscles were affected, it was set down as a muscular disease; but the same unsatisfactory results followed. Now it is universallyoac- knowledged to be a " fiery condition of the blood caused by the presence of uric acid in the system" To euro it the uric acid must be driven out of the blood,which is done by putting the kidneys in a healthy condition with Warner's safe cure, and " putting out the fire in the blood" by Warner's safe rheumatic cure. These remedies, taken in al- ternation, as they should be, drive out the uric acid already in the blood, and prevent further accumulation. James Wight, of 37 E. 19th St., New York, was for many years a victim of rheumatism, and tried various reme- dies and cures without avail. Sept. 8, 1887, he writes in praise of -the remedies named, and says :—" I am new free from the arrow stings of the dreadful inflammatory rheumatism. I have and always will recommend Warner's rheumatic remedies to all sufferers of the disease." The Japanese peasant woman's theory will not be likely to stand the test of time and scientific investiga- tion, but the thousand of cures made by the remedies mentioned above prove their merit beyond all question. Ladies Only. The complexion is often rendered un- sightly by Pimples, Liver Spots and Yel- owness. These it is well known are caused from an inactive Liver and bad blood. Dr Chase's Liver Cure purifies the blood and whole system.

He is still alive, but there is no hope of his re- covery. His youngest daughter wit- nessed the horrible tragedy. Children Cry for tiEW$,.2 QTS,.

To a bashful correspondent—The first thing you do is to pop the ques- tion; then question the pop. At the annual meeting of St. An- drew's Church, Toronto, Wednesday night, Rev. D. J. Macdonnelt's salary was increased to $4,500. Nothing is too small to escape the notice of the editor—not even the man who tries to get his paper for nothing. The commission of Police Magis- trate Partridge, of Simcoe county,has been revoked, on the ground that he exhibited bias in cases before him. There is one good thing about a wire fence. It cannot be used for posting patent medicine advertise- ments. A .. Maryland man with seven wives has been jailed. The law sometiinea helps a man out of a very bad scrape. —'Is there any man in this town named Afternoon?' inquired a Mis- sissippi postmaster as be held up a letter directed 'P. M.' Notwithstanding the prevailing superstition regarding the number thirteen, we don't hear anybody kicking on the baker's dozen. The young man who would waste time kissing a girl's hand would eat the brown paper bag and leave the hot house grapes for somebody else. The bald-headed man may not earn any more bread than the rent of ue, but with his vast glacial brow he could sweat enough for a whole family. The summit of a mountain is gen- erally sterile, while the foot is fer- ttle. So may a mail be bald-head- ed, and yet find that the corn on his foot thrives. The death is announced of, Mre Potts, mother of Rev. Dr Potts. She bad attained a ripe old age. Her home was at Maguire Bridge, near Enniskillen, —There is a vast difference, sage- ly remarksan American cotemporary, between legal morality and moral- ity. S.)me of our technical rights are wrongs. 'If you use my mixture once,' said a patent medicine man, 'I'm sure you will never use any other.' 'No,' was the reply, 'I don't sup- pose I ever would.' —The price of a kiss for this season has just been fixed by a Jer- sy jury, which assessed the kisser $3,500. This will practically pro- hibit osculation in that section. 'No man's character is formed,' says Howells, 'until be has been tried by the woman he loves.' This is something apt to be worse than being tried by a judge. —A. handsome„ young woman of. about 25 years of age, called upon a Baltimore undertaker tho other day and had her measure taken for a coffin. The next day she offered the undertaker $200 to bury her. —The Corean never cuts his hair and he weers'it in a braid down his back until he is married, when be has the right to curl it on the top of bis head. A man is not suppos- ed to be a man until he can weal• his hair on the top of his head. A rather strange proceeding is re- ported from the Township of Culross At a cost of $475 the Council had an expert examine the treasurer's books, and that official reports everything as being all right. Mr Colvin, the treasurer, had built a new house, and in consequence an investigation was demanded by his neighbors. It is now maintained that the terodo has some good points after all. The claim is based on the sup. position that the torado helps to destroy hundreds of abandoned wrecks, and therefore greatly les- sens the dangers of navigation on high seas. "One breaks the glass and cuts his fingers; But they whom Truth and Wisdom lead, Can gather honey from a weed." Those who are wise, and who love the truth, will believe what we say when we tell them tbat Dr. Pierce'fs Favorite Prescription has done more to relieve the sufferings of women, than all other medicines now known to science. It cures all irregularities, internal inflammation and ulceration, displacements and kindred troubles. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under apositive guarantee from the maftifacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will bo refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle•wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years. Pitcher's Castorla.

Se article in Ayer's Almanac. The wearisonio- jestor is around on his annual tour, making 'ghastly jokes on the new year. For in- stance: 'The now year will have one and three -eights of a year,' he says to an unsuspecting victim. 'How do you make that out?' is the reply. 'Write it down and see-1888— one and throe -eights!' The case of the accused Montreal detectives is about to assume a new phase, as their lawyers are making preparations with a view to asking for a change of venue, as they pre- tend that public opinion is too strong. ly prejudiced against the men in that district, and that it will be impossible to find a jury to pronounce upon the case according to the evidence which will be offered. St Jean, one of the advocates for the defence, suggested on Thursday Aylmer or St. Scholas- tique as an appropriate place for the trial. An interesting case came up on Thursday afternoon at the Division Court, Fingal. Samuel Young, of Fingal, sued Chas. Cattenach, of the same village. to recover the price of a horse sold him a year ago for $40 and which the plaintiff alleged the, defendant represented to be only nine years old and warranted to be a good driver. The evidence for the plaintiff showed the horse to be twenty-one years old•,that he was badly spavined. and had been sold five yeare before for $10. The man who paid the $10 sold him at once for $9, remarking that he would not have the animal as a gift. The evidence showed that after Mr Young became his owner he would not go, appeared to be asleep, and one day fell dead. The defendant contended that there was no warrant- ing. Verdict for plaintiff for $25. IC�IS LOGIC." Now thereOGwas the case of our friend McKay ; he said to himself, in his resolute way, that a cough which was growing from bad to worse must be mired, in spite of a slender puree. An ocean voyage was out of the ques- tion aMerida trip a useless sugges- tion ; yet die he wouldn't ! His mo- ney he paid for the " Golden Medical Discovery," by Dr. Pierce made ; and as sound as a nut is hie health to -day —" logic is logic, that's all I say." The seedless raisin is grown seedless simply by arresting one of the laws of nature. When the grape is about 'half ripe the end of the vine is bent and buried in .the ground. This prevents the format- ion of need and the full develop- ment of the fruit, but it ripens all the same and has a delicious flavor. DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS. Counterfeits are always dangerous, more so that they always closely imi- tate the original in appearance and name. The remarkable success ac- thieved by Nasal Balm asa positive cure for Catarrh and Cold in the head has induced unprincipled parties to imitate it. The public are cautioned not to be deceived by nostrums imis tating Nasal Balm in name and ap- pearance, bearing such names as Nas- al Cream, Nasal Balsam, etc. Ask for Nasal Balm and do not take imi- tation dealers may urge upon you.

The Biddulph tragedy of last week bas now lost all interest, dwindling down to a case of suicide. Last Fri- day a stranger, who answers exactly the description of the late Robert Orme, was in London and purchased a revolver, similar to the one found at the scene ot the tragedy, from Gurd's gun shop, Dundas street. Deceased entered the store,purchased the article in a hurry, paid the price asked for it and left immediately. Being in the store such a short time, Mr Gurd is net quite positive that be can identify the man, but the clerk is cure that he will know him. The friends of the deceased are extremely loath to be- lieve tbat the case is one of suicide and hot murder, and claim that no satisfactory reason can be given for his committing the dreadful deed. The fact of his buying the revolver is sufficient proof to nearly everybody here that Robert Orme took his own life. Two Hundred par cant. Inc reale. A Policy that has Grown from $7,000 to $15,071.
