THURSDAY SEPT. 28, 1899 Punished With Stetrvation, In the whole wide world there is not a class of people to be found who inflict severer punishment upon themselves than the Caribs of Central America. Their religion, which is one of :nest peculiar bind, demands self punishment for sins which they Intentionally or unintentionally conn- haitted, The punishment takes the form of starvation and close confinemeut. If the sin be in tbe form of a lie, no matter whether it is calculated to in- jure another or not, the sinner goes -without either food or drink for three days, at the end of which it is 'believed than the offender has paid the penalty for his or her sin. Bxassa: t. nl i g and using bad lan- guage is punishable by absolute star- vation saes awe days.

The totally depraved person is one that is certain all are as bad as he. Every man to his calling—even the bell boy. All men are put out when they are taken in. Somehow it seems to be only the young man that is spoken of as model. Perhaps the son that staid at home expected to market the fatted calf. The barber is not especiiaily apt to speak. of his small boy as a • shaver. Grain speculators are pitted against each other.

A good sheep can never die in debt to a man. If it dies when weaned it has consumed noth- ing. If it dies the first winter the wool will pay for its keep up to that period. If it lived to be sheared once, it brings its owner in debt to it, and if the ordinary course of wool produc- tion and breeding goes on, that in- debtedness increases with great rapid- ity as long as the sheep lives. If the horse or steer dies at three or four years old or the cow before breeding, the loss is almost a total one. si.'ICIDEs..

Itheumatistn hail Fastened Its 'augaUpon Dim for Teats and Caused Him Endless. Misery—Tens Row He Found a Cure. From the Acadian, Wolfville, N. S. Among the ninny in this vicinity who firmly believe in the efficacy of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills as a cure for. rheumatism is Mr, John Stewart, of Hortonville. To a representative of the Acadian who recently interviewed him, Mr. Stewart said he had been a. victim to the pangs of rheumatism for upwards of twenty years. Two years ago Mr. Stewart was thrown from a load of hay and was injured so severely that he was obliged to take to his bed. While in this condi- tion his old enemy —rheumatism— again fastened itself upon him, the pains radiating to almost every joint in his body, making life almost a burden. He had read frequently in the Acadian of the cures effected through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them a trial.. After the use of a few boxes the pains began to diminish, and his general health began to improve. Mr. Stewart continued taking the pills until he had used eight boxes, when the pains had entirely disap- peared and another victory over dis- ease bad been won by this peerless medicine. The Aeadian can add that Mr. Stewart is worthy of every oredence, as be is a luau of intelligence and sterling qualities, whose word is nu, - hesitatingly accepted by a1l wh o know him, The public is cautioned against nnrerous pink colored imitations of these famous pills. The genuine are sold only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the words `tDr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple." If your dealer does not have them they will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 42.50, by ad- dressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Tho largest vessel ever built, the White Star Liner Oceanid, has arrived at New York on her first voyage.

Wright (McGill, 1895), to bo pathologist to the Straits Settlements, with instructions to especially study the diseases of Benberi. From Dover the British Association for the Advancement of Science successfully exchanged courtesies with the French Association for the Advancement of Science, now in session at Boulogne -sur - Mer, using wireless telegraphy for the purpose. THE AGRICULTURAL WORLD. The final C.P,R crop bulletin for this year was issued Thursday. It shows that the wheat in nearly every district has been out, and is free from damage by frost or other causes. Bush fires are casing damage to farms in the township of Kingston. Several farmers had to move out to save their property. The weather bas been so dry that the trees and grass burn with great vigor. The members of the Toronto Milkdeal- ers' Association are a unit in agreeing that their interests will be best served by amalgamating their businesses and form- ing a joint stock company. Preliminary steps have already been taken looking to this end. Onions for Epidemics.

Edward Blake, the distinguished lawyer and parliamentarian, arrived in Toronto on Thursday afternoon from England. Mr. Blake's friends will be sorry to learn that he is at present slight- ly under the weather owing to an attack of rheumatism. He is not seriously ill. Arthur Collins, a 13 -year-old Belleville boy, eon of George Collins, left his home on May 15 last and all efforts of his par- ents to discover his whereabouts have been futile. He has red hair, is not very stout, has roundish face, a few freckles under his eyes; has fair skin and ' wore a blue cap and navy blue suit when he left home. None in Ma Line Allowed. A noted saloon keeper in Eau Claire, Wis., who had a fondness for attending funerals, received the other day the following letter from a gentle- man whose father lead been aliberal patron of the saloon: "Your absence from the funeral of my father is re- quested by the entire family, either at the house or in the procession. No saloon keepers or bartenders allow- ed." The letter caused a sensation. So rapidly does lung irritation spread and deepen, that often in a few weeks a simple cough culminates in tubercular eoneumption. Give heed to a cough, there is always danger in delay, get a bottle of Bickle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup, and cure yourself. It is a huedis cine unsurpassed for all throat and lung troubles. It is compounded from several herbs, each one of which stands at the bead of the list as exerting a wonderful influence in curing consunnptiou and all lung troubles. Ms Mother Couldn't. They were discussing the question as to whether a woman can keep a secret. Little Johnny had not appeared to be listening, but he suddenly added his contribution to the stock of gen- eral intelligence by exclaiming : "Well, I know ma can't keep a secret.

He will be tried at Gravenhurst. .At St. Pierre, Man,, a boy named Lemure, aged 12. said to another Iad named Prefontaine, aged II<: "I will shoot you," and fired, tiring the lad instantly., If the children require physic none acts so nice as Miller's Worm Powders; very pleasant to take. NO SUCCESS WITHOUT LOVE OF WORK. Sound Advice For Youar Men who Are Regi n tr Their Careers, "To win success in any vocation, the present day, requires hard, per- sistent, conscientious work, the best equipment that is possiple, and the employ meat of every resource that can be commanded," writes. Barton Cheney, in a valuable article au "The Young Man and the Professions," in the Ladies' Home Journal, "Even the young man's manner, his person- ality, is a faotor that makes itself felt in his work, while ereoutive ability and good, hard common sense are elements of genius that should never be lacking. The young man should clearly understand in advance that if he does not have the capacity or love for work there is no profes- sion in which he can win success. But, having this, he will find great opportunities to make a name for him- self and to earn larger pectuziary re- wards than men have ever before been able to coin out of their brains," 3le,, s .ran -es for Women. In some parts of the island of Samoa men's names are common among the women, for, if a baby girl is born immediately after the death of a brother, it is supposed that the spirit has simply been transferred from one child to the other, and the newcomer is condemned to take the same baptismal name.

At last I gota bottle of Dr. Thomas' Ecleotric Oil and resolved to try it and to my astonish- ment I got almost instant relief, and the one bottle accomplished a perfect cure. Simpl,• Table Decoration.. A pretty table decoration can be ar- ranged with pressed ferus, The cen- ter piece should be of growing ferns, and foliage of the stone green should be strewn upon the cloth in careless but artistic profusion, Fresh ferns cannot so well be used for this pur- pose, as their leaves are apt to torn and wrinkle. The pressed variety is obtaivablo of any florist and eau, bo used tunny times if properly put away in a flat box or between the leaves of a batik. Peace. "Of course," remarked the kaiser, "I am entirey in favor of peace." "Yes, but"— "Don't interrupt. I am in favor of peace, and I shall lose no occasion to remind people that the only way to enjoy it is to let me have my own way.

Mr. McDougall, of the London county council, is afraid that the Thames will run dry, owing to the dams that are being built in the upper reaches of the river. Whereas last year 843, 000, 000 gallons of water a day passed over Teddington Weir in May, and 429, 000, 000 gallons in June, the figures for this year are 550, 000, 000 gallons in May and 230, 000, 000 gallons in June. In ono day of July only 142, 000, 000 gallons flowed over. It is feared that the result may be au epi- demic of disease, arising from the undiluted sewage of the city. 15 THESE FIGURES ARE YEARS, YEARS IN WHICH, IN SINGLE INSTANCES, PAINS AND ACHES Rheumatic, Neuralgic, Sciatic, Lumbagic, HAVE RAVAGED THE HUMAN FRAME, ST.

Do not leave it in the pot with the grounds, but pour it off or strain it carefully, and if it be used araist hot let it just come to the boiling point. This will be much nicer than to reheat it with the grounds. It may be used to dilute the egg for the nest morning's coffee, or as a flavoring in i•ustards, creams and ices; or as tile e ll ilzup1i place o f or with milk ill gingerbread, cookies„ cakes, etc.., or, when there is a su#lie- lent quantity, it eau be made into jelly.
