Mrs. Thos. Allan, R,F.D. 3, Sombre,

fered a complete breakdown, and fre-
quently had palpitation of the heart.
Since that illness I have had dizzy
spells, had no power over my limbs
(locomotor ataxia) and could not
walk straight. At night I would have
severe nervous spells, with heart pal-
pitation, and would shake as though
1 had the ague. I felt improvement
after using the first box of Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food, and after eontinuing the
treatment can now walk, eat arid sleep
well, have no nervous spells and do
not require heart medicine. I have

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only oneway to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the ` mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case. of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Not a little of. the fascination
which the study and collecting ot
postage stomps holds for enthuslastie
Iles in the fact that the story 01
their origin and subsequent histoz7
in many cases, of an exceedingly
romantic eharacter.
The single known copy of the
rarest stamp in the world, valued at
22,0 00—the one -cent Britisb Guiana
iesued in 1850—ivas discovered by
a young collector in the colony
amongst some old family papers
stored away in an attic. Knowing
nothing of its scarcity, and not being
favorably impressed by its appear-
ance, he sold it to another collector
for a trifling ;cum, the purchaser be -
mg also ignorant of his great bar-
gain. 'Ultimately It found its way to
Europe and now reposes in the col-
lection of M. Philippe de la Renoe
tiere, of Paris, who purchased it
many years ago.
The value of £1,450 is placed upon
the famous "Postoffice Mauritius"
Stamp, which was crudely engraved
on a small copper plate by a focal
watchmaker of Port Louie, and
issued on September 21, 1847. A
total of only 500 copies of each of
these stamps were tediously printed
off one at a time from the plate, and
the majority of these were used on
invitations to a ball sent out by Lady
Gomm, wife of the governor of the
colony.
It was not until nearly twenty
years after their issue that the first
two copies of these rarities were
brought to light by a young stamp
collector of Bordeaux. The most
•perfect used copy of the 2d. Post -
office 'Mauritius was sold by auction
in 1904 for no less a sum than
£1,150, and is now included in King
George's collection,
To the stoey of the watchmaker
who deaigned this stamp may be add-
ed that of the baker's boy who en-
gravecl a stamp of the Republic of
Corrientes, now forming part of the
Argentine Federation. In 1855 it
was decided by the authorities to
issue stamps, but they could find no
engraver to cut the die or prepare
the plates. While one of the of-
ficials was discussing the situation
with tile head of the state printing
office on his veranda one morning a
baker's boy arrived with the daily
supply of bread, and, overbearing
the 'conversation, volunteered to
undertake the work, stating that be-
fore emigrating to South America
he had been apprenticed to an en-
graver in Italy. Ultimately the boy
was given the work to do, and he
turned out a stamp which, although
crude, served for all the postage
stamps issued in Corrientes from
1855 to 1880.
Probably few people are aware of
the fact, by the way, that His Ma-
jesty (then Prince of Wales) was
responsible for the design of the
1903 postage stamps of Canada, uni-
versally acknowledged to be the most
artistic stamps of the last reign,
says The Strand Magazine. About
th, time of the late King's Corona-
tion the Postmaster -General of Can-
ada, then on a visit to England, took
tbe opportunity of consulting his
royal highness on the subject of the
proposed new issue of postage
stamps for the Dominion. The
prince at once took the keenest in-
terest in the work, designed the
stamp in conjunction with a member
of the Royal Philatelic„ Society, and
superintended the preparation of the
"master die" in England. The Ed-
wardian stamps of Canada can
therefore lay claim to the distinction
of being designed by a king.
A starap ro ind which centres one
of the foulest political crimes of
modern history is the so-called
"death -mask stamp" of Servia, issued
In 1904 to commemorate the acces-
sion of King Peter I. The dastardly
assassination of King Alexander and
his Queen Drage by military officers
on .Ione 11, 1903, wiped out tbe
Obrenevitch dynasty from the throne
of Servia, and paved the way for the
• present king.
After the tragedy one of the most
famous of French stamp engravers.
was commissioned to prepare a
stamp from a design by a Serviaa
artist, showing on a single plague
the twin profiles of Kara e Georg, the
founder of the dynasty which bears
his name, and King Peter, his de-
scendant,
The stamps were Issued at the
tirae of King Peter's coronation in
1904, and hardly had they got foto

that the "death -mask" of the late
King Alexander had been skilfully

Thie discovery at once caused an
outcry, the stratagem being ascribed.

ind nourishment to feed the .young
ffigs before birth that the mature sow
ins, and the pigs are smaller at time
of birth. She is tot likely to farrow
as many pigs at the first litter as she
will In later years. The pigs from the
young sows do not grow as large as
those from the older ones, and there is
a tendency to reduce the size of the
animals raised from them.
I» breeding the best is none too good.
The mature sow that has proved her
ability to bring large litters of pigs, in
which there is a large percentage of
good ones, is a valuable animal to
keep. Fecundity is a desirable charac-
teristic, as one does not need to be at
the expense of feeding as many sows
to keep up the supwly.of pigs as when
they have small litters. The mature
sow has a large amount of blood and
nourishes the pigs well while carrying
them, The pigs are large and strong
at time of birth, often reaching double
the size and weight of those from the
young sow.
There seems to be an impression that
sows will cease breeding after they
are three or four year* old. That is a
mistaken Idea. There are cases on rec-
ord where sows have bred until twen-
ty-five and thirty years or age. If a
sow skips one season in breeding she
should not be condemned. Cows do
die same thing occasionally, and we
*think but little of it. There may be
good reasons for such occurrences.

niethod of providing for the repaymeut
of a loan. If you lend Inc $10,000„
which I promise to reply in ten years,
you have a right to be Interested in
my plaus for meeting the demand for
the $10,000 which you expect to mak()
upon ine ten years hence.
So I say to you:
"1 am going to amortize that $10,000
debt 1» this way: Out of my earnings
every year I'm going to set aside $900.
Each year I will set the $900 to work
earning somethiug too, At the end of
ten years the fund will amount to just
enough to discharge my debt,"
Yoe will find that specialists in
bonds use the word a great deal. They
know better than anybody else its ina-
portance. They realize that a borrow-
er of money for a long term of years
Is very apt to forget to make provision
for repayment.
Certain lenders of money on long
terms insist upon the borrower's tak-
, tog out a life insurance policy big
enough to meet the debt in case of
death before the debt becomes due.
Generaily the longer a debt has to run
the more important becomes the ques-
tion of "amortization."—John M. °Ma-
son In Chicago News.
An Ancient Mariner's Tale. •
A solemn man leaned forward as thei
train approached tbe seaside resort.
"You see that boardin' house over
there. I can tell you a funny story,
about that. I was stityire there thirty,
years since, and there WAS a 'usband
and wife there, too—very pleasant peo-
ple. One day after dinner 'e Says tor
'er, as any eisband might say to any;
wife, `Passme them hoots.' And she,
says to em, as any wife might say to
any Msband, `Get 'em yourself.' An1
'e says, 'I'll never ask you for no more
boots.'"
"Well, is that all?" asked the vietira
as tbe ancient mariner paused for
breath.
"No. 'E went ont at once and drown-
ed emself in those very boots—a new;
pair fresh on."
And the ancient mariner was ob-
viousiy gratified by the sensation
which the climax of his fenny story,
produced.
