The'horee that an walk fast is al- ways a source of pleasure, While the slow walker is an abomination. While much conies from inheritance, educatia'i is much to be credited for a good road gait. No animal forms a habit more quickly than a horse. Give it the chance to form a habit of fast walking. Do not tire him out on the start before you ask him to walk and thea expect him to walk rapidly. Give him a chance to show his ability at a walk when he comes fresh from the stable. If he feels good so much the better, keep him down to a walk for the first few miles, and let him, form the habit of walking like a tornado. The natur- al inclination will be to walk feat at times, almost breaking into a trot. If this is continued day after day, with care that the colt does not be- come tired, a prompt or even a very fast walk will be as natural to that colt as eating.—Coax. /Per Over Fit Years.

AT'J tOKEb WITII LA G0IPPII WHICH LEFT IIIAI WEAIC ANO WOOON OCJT— KIDNNY TROUBLE ADDED ITS COM-- , I'I.ICATIONS AND TIIE SUFFERER WAS DISCOURAGED, From the Journal, klununerside. P. E. I. One of the best known men itround Bedique and vicinity is Mr. Alfred Sehurmau, who has recently removed to North Carleton. Mr. Schuman was born in Bedique about seventy years ago. Some twenty-tive years ago he was swell' in as a justice of the peace, and about tweuty-one years ago he was appointed clerk of county court, in both of which offices he has given every satisfaction. Mr. Schurman was also a farmer on a large scale and like most men engage ed in that occupation led a busy Jife, being compelled to attend strictly to business, but less than a year ago he retired from farming and now lives in a cosy cottage in North Carleton. Before his. retirement, work such as only a man engaged in that occupa- tion knows anything about, claimed his attention. His increasing years made the burden heavier and the spring work of 1893 wore him cont- pletely out. This is what he tells about it, and how he was ' cured.. "In, the spring of 1893 toe constant toil and drudgery conn- ted with the work of fartnin wo mo out coni pletely, and th brak down was the more waif let • ccause the results were coupled with the bad effects left by a bad attack of la grippe. One of the results of la grippe was a nasty cough another was the complete loss of appetite. My spirits were greatly de• pressed and I felt that I had lived out my days. I always•felt cold, and consequently the stove and I were great friends, but the cold effected more especially my feet and caused me great annoyance. Added to this complication was a serious kidney trouble which- threatened to prove the worst enemy of them all. I was unable to do any work, had no atn•- ,bition and less strength, and was, not a bit the better of all the doctor's medicine I had taken. It was my wife who advised hie to try Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I bought six boxes and began taking them. My hope revived because a change for the better was soon taking place, and before they were done was cured. The six boxes brought back my ap- petite, strength and ambition,' in short, all that, I had lost in the way of strength and Health. The next spring however my health again gave way, and I immediately began using the Pink Pills again, and I am happy to say that they effected that time a permanent cure, and to -day I ata well and hearty as If I were only forty. I strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who were suliering as I was. Dr. Williams' Pink Pill cute by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system. Avoid int• lt,ations, by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrap- piha' bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. • W. J. Hammond, who was to have been hanged on the 18th, for the murder of his wife, has been granted a new trial. The body of H. 0. Fitzgerald was found in the Welland Canal at St. Catharines.
