During the closing weeks of 1895 the daily papers have published an extra- ordinary amount of interesting and im- portant news. It is worth something to the busy newspaper reader to have this mass of information taken up arranged, s igested and reviewed in a calm and in- telligent manner. The Review of Re- views performs this service very effici- ently every month. The number for P January, 1896. is especially strong in this a respect. The editorial department, called ° "The Progress of the World," is dis- 4inguished for its able handling of national and international topics of the t hour. In fact, the Review occupies a 'unique position as a truly "international magazine." Its soundly "American" stand on the Venezuelan question is sig- nificant. icnificant.

Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D.,, writes upon' "Memories of Our Child- hood Homes," in Ladies' Home `Jour- nal, and emphasizes the necessity of surrounding children with bright pic- tures and; cheery `furnishings, as the mental photographs they make in early years are the ones that never fade, but last and remain vivid through life. Nature, too, has a big part to play in the teachings of the youth. "It takes a good deal to make a good home," writes the forceful leader and teacher, "It needs something besides father and mother, and an open fire, and the eat on the hearth. The first element in the home is the: house itself, which needs to be distinctly different,from any other house in sight. Thor there needs to be , sonic land around a house before it can be 'real homey,' It gives playroom for the eyes as well as for the feet. A wide ith range of solemn woods will do more for a child in a week than yellow bricks andes paving stonwill do for him in a year a tee or ever do for him.

Rain in the city g only wetness broken loose, and is th ciliated only in terms of street-cleani eh and aqueduct supply. A square mile er rain or a dozen square miles is a diff$ ent matter, and is unconsciously co strued by the child as being a mood Nature's mind rather than a hydrop OM uncorking. Still more impressi. upon the child's mind are the stran g communications made to him by th e lightning flashing above him across al ' hundred miles of country sky, and th n' l weird aurora and the swift and blazin track of 'falling stars,' thatmake hii o feel how solemnly close to him is t is great wonderful world above the clouds. THE W M. S. BULL CASE. BLADDER -STONE OF WONDERFUL DIMENSIONS GOT RID OF. An Easy Escape Irrom Grave Danger— Great Ilea:every anger--GreatBceovery by Using Dodd's Kidney Pills. Frederiokton, N.B, Dec. 30.—The peo- pie of St. Ma.y's, a usually quiet suburb of this city, era excited over a stone of unusual dimensions, now in the posses- sion of a physician here, This stone passed from the bladder of Mr. Win. S. Bull, after taking one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. The facts as told by the sufferer himself are as follows: "About a year ago I began to suffer with severe pains in my back, accompa- nied by lethargy impossible to overcome. "Continuing for some time and gradu- ally getting worse, I employed a physician, who gave my ailment a high-sounding name, and I was greatly alarmed when in spite of treatment I, began to urinate blood, "It was at this juncture that a friend advised me to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it was after using about one box that I got rid of the sone mentioned. "You may judge of my gratitude for an escape at such a small expense from the terrible suffering caused by the pas- sage of such a stone. "The third box of Dodd's Kidney Pills effected a complete and radical cure, and for the past six months I have felt no re - urn of any suffering. "As I used no other medicine whatever since commencing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills I am positive that I owe my recovery entirely to their virtue," Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold everywhere at 50 cents a box or by mail from the Dodd's Medicine Company, Toronto, Ont. n. in is Cal - ng of r- n - of a- ve ge e a e g n he pulp a day, consisting usually of fro seventeen to twenty oars, There a pulp mills at four other places in Pe obsoot county.

Chronic derangements of the stomach, liver and blood are speedily removed by e active principle of the ingredients ntering into the composition of Parme- e's Vegetable Pills. These pills act specifically on the deranged organs, stimulating to action the dormant ener- gies of the system, thereby removing disease and renewing life and vitality to the afflicted. In this lies the great secret of the popularity of Parmelee's Vegeta- ble Pills. FOREIGN. The Realm, the weekly London news- paper of which Lady Colin Campbell was editor, is dead. Three large bodies of Cubans are ad- vancing upon Havana, and • the city will soon be in a state of siege. Reports have been received of a terrible massacre of Armenians at Orfah,in which two thousand Christians were killed. The Queen on New Year's day, the an- niversary of her proclamation as Empress of India, received ninny valuable presents from Indian chiefs. The new Act for the protection of mar- ried women went into force on last Wed- nesday. and the next day there were six applications in London under its provis- ions. The Turkish Government has accepted the offer of the representatives of° the powers to mediate between, the Porte and the insurgents of Zeitoun, who are surrounded by Turkish troops. The surplus in the Imperial budget at the end of the current financial year will be five million pounds, and the London papers advocate the expenditure of every penny of it to increase the strength of the navy. At the request of Sir Philip Currie, the. itish Am bassador at Constantinople, unctions have been sent by the 'Turk Turk - authorities to the Vali at Kharput to per the distribution to the destitute Armenians of the'- relief fund subscribed for them in England. • M.

In this wa e the country will be practically covered r The value of such a service to business men will readily be seen Shippers, f instance, often wish to know before de- ciding on unpaceing or unloading per- ishable goods whether there is an probe- ' bility of cold weather, and they have hitherto been limited to the two fore- casts a day given in the papers, unless they went to some trouble to get the most recent probabilities. Men who are contemplating building ditches, repair- ing houses, doing a hundred things that would be interfered with by a storm are constantly sending to the Weather Bur- eau for special information. When the weather in general is warm and fine there is comparatively little lnquiry,but as soon as the season of storm and frost begins, questions pour in from the ad- joining country, as well as from the city. The forecasts as at present made are of great value in preventing loss to many commercial interests. The new ar- rangement, which makes them more eas- ily accessible, promises to be highly ap- preciated by the public. A Sure Thing.
