Titles of Rooks Misquoted by Would.11e Purchasers. There's a broadly humorous side to the book trade, says London Tit -Bits. The fun is generally furnished by the ridiculous mis- takes people make in the liaineS of books. A lady sent her maid one day for Annie Thcarnts' novel of "He Cometh Not, She Sold," but the damsel asked for "He Combeth Not His Head." The little boy of a prominent divine went to a shop to procure for his father a relig- ious book called "The HourWhichCometh," but he inquired for "The Hen Which Crow- eth." At the time that Thomas Hardy's clever 'Iowa "A Pair of Blue Eyes," was at the heighth of its popularity, a young assistant in a bookseller's, who was as new to the business as he was slow of comprehenison, when a lady came in and. said to him, very - eagerly and inquiringly, "Have you A Pair of Blue Eyes't'" blushingly stammered out, "No, miss; my eyes are black." One day an errand boy brought up from the cellar a trap containing a large rat, just as a well-known society belle, wishing to look at one of Anthony Trollope's most popular novels, said to the new assistant: " I want to see What Will He Do With It ?' " "Very well, miss," was the reply ; "if you will walk to the back part of the shop ancl look out of the window you will see • him drown it." - — A TALE OF FOUR TRAVELED& HOW They Quarrelled and Why They Made up. Four travellers, an Arab, a Turk, a Greek and a Persiati, met at the gate of a, city. They agreed to pool their cash and purchase food. .Bet the Arab insisted that easels must be the dish procured, while the Per- sian begged that it be anghar. The r,furk said that azum was the best of all foods, and the Greek as strongly contended for sym- phalionil They came quite to a quarrel ; but just then an ass was driven by loaded with grapes.

As an invigorating, restorative tonic, soothing cordial and bracing nervine, for debilitated and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has no equal. It improves digestion invigorates the system, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains produces refreshing sleep, dispels melancholy and nervousness, and builds up both the flesh and strength of those reduced below a healthy standard.

Electric Shadows. If you ever observe it, the electric light is responsible for many grotesqueries nightly painted on respectable walls and matter-of- fact sidewalks. Shadows are only shadows, but they give one the shivers sometimes, especially at a late hour, when honest folks are supposed to be in bed. Giants of despair then stretch out long arms at the corners of silent streets and strange profiles are thrown against the unconscious houses and weird traceries of dancing branches make the pavement rise and fall in a style that must puzzle a person who knows he is sober. Alone, without the presence of humanity, these electric shadows lend the sleeping city a mystic animation that even conventional moonshine fails to dispel. The sputter, the swish of the lights, too, add to the uncanny effect, and their fluctuations would in time drive the sane mad if thought was taken of them.

I had my ankles well rubbed and then wrapped with flannel saturated with the remedy-. In the morning I could walk without pain." Many get up and walk in the same way. •,77 MIRACLE OF NODERN DAYS. Hamilton Frodaces One of the Most Re- markable Cures on Record, " TOTALLY DISABLED," YET OVERO. Hamilton TOLES, May 2701,1591. Ono of the most remarkable cures in the history of medicine has just been effected in this city and the fame of it is fast spreading throughout the land, Over four years ago Mr. John Marshall, then employed as manager of Me. J. C. Williams' coal oil refinery works here' sustained a fall, which at the time was notthought to be serious. He doctored, but his trouble grew worse, and contracting cold after cold upon his other trouble he was compelled to give up work entirely. His troubles developed into ataxy, a nervous disorder, held by medical authorities to he incurable. For four years Mr. Marshall has been an intense sufferer. He lost the use of his legs entirely and could not raise himself from a chair except by the use of a crutch and a stick. Though there was power in his legs there was no feeling. They were like dead weights, cold as ice and not susceptible to feeling. He coulthi take his heavy- stick and hammer tlie flesh until the sound of blo-ws filled the house. During the course of these years no lest than fourteen leading physi- cians of this city treated him. Sometimes two or three of them were in attendance at once. All agreecl that his disease was in- curable. Mr. Marshall went to Toronto for electrical treatment, at a heavy expense, but received not the slightest benefit. He tried every patent medicine that was reconunended to him, yet without getting any aid, The " suspension " -treatment was resorted to, and he was suspended by means of appliances around his neck aucl under his arms from the ceilingof the barn, but got no relief. Electric belts and appliances of an endless variety were tried, and. thoroughly tried, too, but all resulted the same svaya-they left Mr. Marshall just a,s they had found him. At one time twenty pins were run right into the flesh of his leg. He barely felt two of them ; the others he did not feel at all. His flesh was cut into with a knife and Ise felt not the slightest pain; and so he went on until the 13th day of April last, every remedy suggested by any one being tried, and hundreds of dollars spent upon patent medicines, to say nothing of doctors' bills. Mr. Marshall was a member of the Royal Templets of Temperance. He was passed by the physicians of the Order as totally disabled for life. The chief medical ex- aminer passed him, and. he was paid the $1,000 paid by the Order in cases of total A day or two ago a TIMES representative called upon Mr. Marshall at his residence, No. 25 Litttle William street. The door was open, and upon knocking a strong, steadt, step -was heard. Mr. Marshall opened the door and received the reporter cordially. He walked without either crutch or stick and looked. the picture of a sturdy, 'fine man. He conversed freely of his case, as did Mrs. Marshall, who came in later. "Five weeks ago," he said,. "1 could not raise my foot or bend my leg. As for walking without a stick or crutch it was impossible. I had seen an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as they were especially recommended for nervous disorders, I resolved to try them. I ha.d what the doctors called Locomotor Ataxy. I had not walked for ahnost four years. My wife saki, Oh, what's the use of trying another patent medicine?' but I tried the Pink Pills. I had not used one box be fore I began to feel the effects. The feeling came back to my right leg first. After using them two weeks I was able to walk up to Mr. C. 3. Williams' place on MacNab street, over a mile and a half from here and back. I had got nearly home when my left leg bcm.ve out, and. I nearly went down. I had to stand and rub the leg for several minutes. Then it felt as if a thousand pins were running in it. That was the blood beginning to circulate in the leg that had beendead almost four years. From that time it has steadily improved. Now see how I am. (Here Mr. Marshall arose and -walked briskly around the room without artificial assistance.) I have used absolutely nothing but the Pink Pills and taken cold baths as directed on the boxes. To -clay I walked to the market and back—a three inile walk. have lived in Hamilton for thirty years and and well known. Hun- dreds of people stopped me on the streets., Some of them stopped me to see if it was really John Morahan. ' Hundreds of people have been here to see me. Among them came several physicians who attended me. One of them, and the one who did the most for me, said, 'Well, you are the first cure in 10,000 cases.' I can tell you of a bank messenger in this city 'who has not walked as straight in twenty-five years as he has this last week. He took Bilk Pills on my recommendation. bcores more in this city are trying them and quite a num- ber in this vicinity have been benefited." Mr. Marshall is gaining strength rapidly and expects to be back to his work before long. ale grows more enthusiastic in talk- ing of Pink Pills, and he has good reason to, for his is a remarkable salvation. Since beginning to use the remedy he has regained lost flesh and now weighs more than he has for nine years. He has not an ache or pain, but is conscious of a delicious feeling of healthy life in his legs. The remarkable case noted in the above article from the Hamilton TIMES conclu- sively proves that the proprietors of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have in no way over- stated the merits of their remedy. Pink Pills are a never failing blood builder and nerve tonic, and are equally valuable for men or women, young or old. They Cure all forms of debility, female weaknesses, suppressions, chronic eonstipation, head. ache, St. Vitus' dance, loss of memory, premature clecay, etc., and by their marvel- lous action on the blood, build up the sys- tem anew and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow complexions. These pills are sold by all dealers or will be sent post- paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box) by addressing the Dr. Williams Medical Co., 'Brookville, Ont. Accepted the Designation. A young lieutenant in a line regiment recently met with a sad rebuff at Ports- mouth. The lieutenant was parading in full uniform one day and approached a sentry, who challenged him with "Halt !

The sentry's reply, apt and quick, came "Advance, ass, and give the coun- tersign." "Excuse me, sir, but haven't we met before ? Your face is strangely familiar."

Another provision of the bill was that where a homesteader after five years failed to take out his patent, his interest in that patent might be sold by the municipal authorities for school or municipal taxes. There was also a clause providing that from and after January ist, 1895, no patent should be issued to a homesteader exeept upon the condition that should the land be allowed to rernaie three years without fif- teen acres being continuously cultivated it should revert to the Governments The Bill was read a first time, Mr. Sproule introdueeda Bill to regulate private deteetive, financial and commercial agencies and corporations, which was read a firstitim SrHector Langevin arose and said : Mr. Speaker, I wish to answer the question put by the hon. leader of the Opposition (Mr. Laurier) yesterday afternoon, He wanted to know either to -day or another day if I would make a statement as to the policy of the Government. I have this to communi- cate to the House : The Government pro- pose to carry oat the policy which has hitherto guided the Liberal -Conservative party, an outline of which in respect ef the measures of this session is indicated in the speech from the Throne. The trade and financial policy will be dolma in the budget speech. Mr. Arnyot moved the second readiug of his hill to make voting compulsory. Mr. Langelier, in moving for the corres- pondence and doeuments respecting the building of the bridge at Quebec, said that requests had been made to the Government for financial assistance to aid this important and inueh-needed work. The citizens of Quebec eonsidered that it was a question of life or death for the prosperity of Quebec. The estimated cost of the structure was be- tween three and four million dollars. Mr. Chateauvert, the candidate who had opposed him in the lot election, had told the elec- tors upon his nomination that he had, through the influence of Sir Hector Langevin and Sir Adolphe Caron, a promise of assist- ance from the Government for .the Quebec bridge'. The Ministers now said that the statement of a promise having been made was untrue. Mr. Chateauvert would be branded as a liar by the citizens of Quebec, and if it were true the people would like to know it. Sir Charles Tapper had also promised that the bridge would be built. The motion was carried. Mr. McMullen, on motion for returns, said that the people of his district would not rest satisfied till they had received some compensation for the bonuses they had given to railways, whilst in other parts of the Dominion the Government had. built the railroads entirely at the public expense. Before the session ended he proposed to bring the matterbefore the House bysa reso- lution covering the whole ground. Mr. Landerkin said that some of the claims were so strong that justice demands they must be settled in the nearfuture. Not a dollar had been spent by the Government in the counties of Grey and Bruce, while they had contributed largely to the public revenue. The claims of those counties were irrmeesnrisat tibsillae:a . inigraiyAct, said that it pro - in posed the bill to am posed to re-insert the clause which the Sen- ate had struck out of the Government Rail- way bill last session. The bill required railways to plough a fire guard not less than sixleet wide through the -uncultivated, land within 250 feet of the track. This was necessary to prevent prairie fires. Another clause required railways after January, 1893-,-ateeteprip, freight cars with automatic air brakes. The next clause provided that the fences built by the railways should be built not only where the railway passed through municipalities, but where it passed through any settled district. The object of this was to prevent accidents caused by collisions with straying cattle. The bill was read a first time. Sir Hector Langevin moved that the Government orders have precedence on Thursdays for the remainder of the session. Sir John Thompson moved the second reading of the bill respecting the settlement of accounts between the Dominion of Can- ada and the Provinces of Ontario and Que- bec. aaai Mr. Tupper moved the second reading of his bill to further amend the Act respect- ing certificates of masters and mates of ships. He said that the object of the bill was to make regular the practice'that had obtained since they passed the law concern- ing the certificates of masters and mates. This made the Act applicable to masters and mates on minor waters. The following Bills were passed through committee and read a third time: riRdegesrd eting the Niagara Grand Islan b Respecting the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada. To incorporate the Vancouver Dock & Shipbuilding Company. To enable the Victoria & North American Railway Company to run a ferry between Becher Bai y, n British Columbia, and a point on the Straits of Fuca, within the United Stato of America.

The annual procession of the:Juggernaut Car will take place this month at Seraanpore, about fourteen miles from Calcutta. The car ie forty feet in height, though appearing rather less from the fact that it was pho- tographed from the top of a house. It was made prbicipally of iron, and weighs about forty tons. The colors in which it is painted are bright red and yellow. On the thp plat- form is placed the image of the god Jugger- naut, covered at first with a veil. The withdrawal of this veil is the signal for setting the car in motion. It IS dragged away by means of three ropes, by about 2,000 men, to a spot some hundred yards off, where it is left for eight days, and then retaken to its forxner resting place. It is estimated that 50,000 Hindoos come from different parts of India to celebrate the festival. " Ladles" stud Cooks. In the Manehestee Ottardian, last week there appeared side by side an advertise- ment for " a thoroughly good Scotch or North country cook," and another for " a lady by birth, as nurse," the lady by birth to have entire charge of a baby eighteen months old and partial charge of " a delicate little girl of Seven, requiring thoughtful care, as well as of two boys of six and eight attending day school, and to be stronghealthy, experi- enced, patient with children, a good needle, woman and a member of the Church of England."

Don't call a saade a spade when it is a shovel. No man ever yet minded his own business who didn't get into trouble. However great some men's abilities are, their liabilities are always greater. A man is frequently known by the com- pany he keeps out of. Honesty is the best policy, because it is the only policy which insures against loss of character. Don't lose sight of an honorable enemy; he'll make a, good friend. The soaring hawk has no ear for music, and rates the cry of the partridge above the song of the nightingale.

The lanclecape in parts is pretty ; some finely situated estameas are to be seem along the banks of the Uruguay ; the vicinity of the Rio Negro, too, is especially interesting and characteristic of the fertile parts of the territory, which present a simi- lar combination of water, wood, and rolling prairie. But, after all, one soon wearies of looking at the same kind of view hour after hour, league after league, ancl province after province. The fences of posts and wire are varied eamethnes by fenees of aloes and cactus ; the eucalyptus, the poplar, and othes trees are also planted to form fences as in Chili; the roads, where one seas long teams of oxen toiling along with huge Waggorts, are as terrible as those of the Argentine ; the prairies are dotted with innumerable herds of cattle and horses; oc- casionally you see two or three peasants wearing brown ponchos riding and driving; animals before then: ; at long intervals yoa see one or two ranchos, or huts, where the peasants live. In the Argentine the ranchoa appeared miserable enough, but in Uruguay J saw many ever' more primitive, mere huts of black mud, with is roof of maize straw, is floor of beaten earth, is doorway, but not always a window.

The Princess of Wales is one of the busiest women in the world, says the Chi- cago Post, compared to whom the wife of a. day laborer has leieure. When her dough- ters were in the school -room, punctually at 9 o'clock every morning she went into the school -room with the teachers and masters to examine the work of the previous day, and now that they are in society she per- sonally supervises their gowns, designing and working on them herself, as she ia a 'skilled dressmaker. Besides her own ardu- ous public duties and those she has to per- form for the Queen, she undertakes a large correspondence with her brothers, sisters and parents.
