PhenoMaaial.
We have much pleasure in reproducing
the follovving arbiole from the Montreal
ifrimesn relative to the 'success in Goat
Rritielei of a well-known Canadian firm. We
have done business with the firm in question
number of yearo and mu beadily
endorse whet the Witness says concerning
'their honorable bueinese raethede, and the
vent exereised in the publioalton of the
netichte appearing in the prom relative to
their preparation. These oases are always
mitten up by influential newspapers in the
accent/081u which they occur, after a full
end thorough investigation that leaves no
float of their Impartiality and truthful
shedder. We are quite certain that the
zonfidence reposed in the firm and their
preparation is not misplaced:
"Lha phrase 'British pluck i has fearsome
an adage, and not without good reason, for
wherever enterprise, courage or 'buil-dog
tenuity' is required to sweep away or our-
emenut opposing obetacles in order that the
plemeole of success may be reached, your
true Briton never flinches, and, facing all
obstacles, works until seemed has bean
achieved. This same ' 33ritigh pluck' is a
chataderlotic of the native-born Canadian,
la d there are very few walks in life in
rthicl2 it does nob bring success as the re-
ward. This much by way of prelude to
what bears every indication of being is Bu-
mble:1 VerattUrS on the part of is welloknown
Queraliart house. When it was announced,
a fees, months ago, that the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., of Brookville, intended estate-
diething is branch of their Mistiness in the
motherland, there were not is few who
were inclined to be skeptical as to the
mace= of the Ventura, while Immo • boldly
predicted failure. "There would be an
vatbjection," they urged, "to taking up a
colonial remedy," a their business methods
eliffered from thoae prevailing in Canada ; "
"i the field was already crowded with pro-
patatery remedies long established." These
,nad ellany other objections were urged as
nermons why the venture was a doubtful one.
But the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company
'we:sleet to be deterred by any objections
that might be raieed. They had unbounded
confidence in the merit of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and the
pheck to back up their confidence with their
math. This latter is well known to Cam-
e:11m newspaper men, who know that less
than three years ago the company
font put upon the market in the
loem of Pink Pille is prescription
which had previously only been used in
private practice, and with a skill and
audacity that has not been surpaesed in
:the Annals of Canadian advertising, pushed
It in the van of all competitore. Of course,
the remedy had to have merit, or this could
alet have been done, and it was the corn -
ninny's aimed belief in the merit of their
remedy that endowed them with the pluck
to place their oapital behind it. Ib was
this rams conviction that merit, skilfully
Eitihr i -bed, will command success that in -
due ern to venture into competibion
with long-establlshed remedies of the

motherland. And we are glad to hnow—
Indeed we believe that all Canadians will be
•Iad to learn—that short as is blie time the
. Williams' Company have been in that
field, their encode has been rapid and
ever increasing. .As an instance of this
ancoess tbe 'Chemist and Druggisb,' the
loading drug journal of the world—and
probably the mostconeervative—in a recent
; llama states that the success of Dr. Wil-
t — /foams' Pink Pills in Great Britain has been
emprecedented and phenemenal. While,
me doebt, it io the advertising that has
bron,aht this remedy into such rapid promi-
moue in Englend, it is the merit of the
preparation that keeps it there and makes
it :popular with the people. There are few
newspaper readers in Canada who have riot
mead of the cures, that, to say the least,
' border on the marvellous:, brought about
by the use of Dr. WilliamsPink Pills,
and already we see by the English papere
that the same results are beieg achieved
'there. Is it any wonder then that Pink
3?Illa are popular wherever introdueed 1
We have done business with this firm for a
czonber of years. We have found them
honorable and reliable, and worthy of

remedy.

The Rev. Welter Cooper, Weeleyan

oplrituel habitation in a fanestautialbutldiag
in high street, Old Basforit, took a pastor's
lament he the case of tide unfortunate man,
and is acquainted with the oircumstancee
froni almost first to lad. A week or two
ago Mr. Watson began to astonish
all bio neighbors by the sudden
improvement in hie appearance and
capacity. He is able to walk
about, and his right arm, which WAS
ferMf,rly perfectly incapable of motion, is
now moved almost as rapidly as the other,
though the fingers have not yet recovered
their usual delicate touch. Perhapo the
moat striking oixcumstance, however, is the
great improvement in the personal respect)
of the man. The deformity of feature
caused by the paralysis is entirely removed.
His smooch is roistered, and the right leg,
the displacement of which kept hien to his
bed or chair, has now recovered its fume

tion so completely that he is about to take

hum
Questioned as to the oade of this re-
markable improvement in a ode uxiivereally
regarded as incurable by the medical pro-
fession, Ddro. Watson, wife of the patient,
unhesitatingly attributed her husbandts
miraculous recovery to the nee of amedioine
called Dr. Williams' Pink Pille for Pale
People, and brought into considerable pro-
minence by the publication of some remark-
able mires affected by their means in
Canada. "Since I have taken Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills," said Mr. Watson, "1 have un-
questionably been better not only than I
was before the stroke of paralysis seized
me, but than I have been at any time since
my boyhood," a statement confirmed by
Mrs. Watson, who said the appearance of
her husband now was proof of the enormotas
improvement) in his health. "Tho Pills,"
she said, "seem not only to have cured the
parelysis of the face and leg, bub to have
effected a rnosb remarkable change in his
general health."
Mr. Watson was always remarkably
pallid and of a sickly appearance, but the
ruddy glow of the patient's face confirmed
Mrs. Watson's words. ,"I assure you,"
said she, "we can speak in the highest pos-
sible terms of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Nothing either at the General Hospital or
from the doctors, who have attended my
husband at different times; has done any-
thing like the good which the few boxes of
Dr. Williams' Pille he has taken have
effected, and, under providence, we feel he
ewes his life and his restoration to weak
and usefulness to this wonderful medicine."
Mr. Charles Leayealy. Insurance Agent,
at Cowley street, Old Basford, has among
other neighbors been deeply moved by the
sufferings of Mr. Watson, and profoundly
impressed by hie miraculous restoration to
health. The case has, in fact, been a topic
of conversation in the entire neighborhood.
Attention is drawn to the circumstance
that every fact in the above remarkable
history ifs vouched for by independent
evidence, whioh it would be morally im-
possible to doubt. It is shown by con-
clusively ateested evidence that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are not a patent medicine in the ordluary
sense, but a scientific preparation,
from a formula long used in regular
practice. They are ehown to positively
and, unfatllngly cure all diseases
arising from impoverished blood, ouch ss
pale and Barlow complexion, general muscu-
lar weakness, anemia, green sioknes-, p.lpi-
batten of the heart, shortness of breath,
pain in the bull, nervous headache, dizzi-
ness, loss of memory, early dec ty, all forms
of female weakness, hysteria, paralysis, loco
motor ataxy, rheumatism, solstice, all dis-
eases depending on vitiated humors in the
blood, dusting scrofula, rickets, hip joint
diseases, ch, °nit) eryelpelase catarrh, con-
sumption of the bowels and lunge, and also
invigorates the blood and system when
broken down by overwork, worry, dis-
eases. These pills are not a purgative
medicine. They contain nothing that
could injure the most delicate system. They
act directly on the blood, supplying to the
blood its life-giving qualitiee, by aseisting itto
absorb oxygen, that great supporter of all
organics life. In this way,the blood, becoming
" builb up," and being supplied with its
lacking conatituenta, becomes rich and red,
nourishes the various organs, stimulating
them to activity in the performance of their
functions, and thus eliminate diseases from
the system.
These Pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Williams' Med leine Company, of
46 Holborn Viaduct, London Eng-
land, (and of Brockville, Onb., and
Scheneolady, N. Y.), and are sold only
in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark
and wrappers at 2s. 9d. a box, or six boxes
for 13e. 9d. Pamphlet free by post on ap-
plication. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams'
Pith Pills for Pale People are never mold in
bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any
dealer who offers substitutes in this form
is trying to defraud you, and should be
avoided.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be bad of
all chemists, or direct by posb from the Dr.
WilliameiMedioine Company from bhe above
address. The price at which these pills are
sold makes a course of treatments compara-
tively inexpensive aa compared with other
remedies or medical treatment.

her repertoire, including "Lea Petite

whioh was to be given for the first time in
public on the following evening. Then
Marie Logan% of the Vaudeville,' came
forward and declaimed " Ren-
dezvous " and d'Asy's "Couturiere." After
that Angele Legaulb, of the Theatre
Lyrique, sang "Jai Tent de Closes is Vona

ance of Yvette in the Faubourg St. Ger-
main and her volume of naughty lenge
boat:ling with double entendres was consid-
ered one of the need fin-de-sieele events of
the season.
EXTRAORDINARY CRIME.
All Paris has just been thrown into a
state of excitement by a crime whioh is one
of the moot extraordinary acts of vengeanoe
ever committed. The viothn is is young
doctor named de Plouzoles, who practiced
at Corbett, about 18 miles dietant from the
city. An elegantly -dressed lady, about 22
years old, entered an inn in the village
of Croones. She took a room in the place,
slept there the same night, and the next
morning complained of being very ill. At
her roped it was decided to send for a
doctor. The neared physsician was at
Montgeren ; but she eaid she did not want
to be attended by a rural practitioner and
asked if a young doctor, M. de Plouzolea, is
married man, bad not lately arrived in the
.distria. Having been told that such was
the case, she desired that Dr. de Plouzoles
should be called in.
DOCTOR'S THROAT OUT.
A messenger was accordingly despatched
for the doctor, who arrivedgat the inn about
10 °Week in the morning, and was shown
up to the lady's room. The visit) was so
long that the landlord of the hostelry be-
came unesey. At the expiration of about
an hour he went to the room, knocked at
the door, and receiving no answer opened
it The eight that met his view temporarily
unnerved him, and caused him to rush
downetairs like one bewitched or overcome
by a great calamity. Oa the floor Jay tbe
body of the young doctor, his throat show-
ing is ghastly and gaping wound, which
extended from ear to ear. The landlord, in
his hurry to get away from the horrid
spectacle, did not see the lady, who wan
lying near the body of M. de Pleuzeles, her
right temple pierced by is revolver bullet.
nova, FRENZY AND SUICIDE.
So far as is known at present the lady
was a Madame Delagrange, of Belgian
origin, who was about to be divorced from
her husband. Owlug to mental excitement,
broughb on by her domestic troubles, she
had been detained for is while in is private
asylum at Ivry, is suburb of Paris, where
she met Dr. de Plouzoles who was then
attached to the establishment, and fell
madly in love with him. On her return to
the house of her uncle at Chanville she sent
several love letters to the doctor, whenever
answered them. When she heard of M. de
Plomeles' marriage her frenzy exceeded all
bounds and her uncle amordingly resolved
to send her to is quiet tittle place which
he owned near Chartres. He accompanied
her to the Versailles railway dation, and it
is supposed that she left the train after it
had arrived at the flub place of stoppage,
returned to Versailles, bought a revolver,
and then went to Crones. A letter was
found be one of the pockets of her dress
which enabled the gendarmes te find the
clue of the terrible affair. The bodies re-
mained in the inn for a day, and after the
judicial enquiry that of the doctor was sent
to bus sorrowing widow, while the other
was conveyed to the home of is relative,
whence it will be taken to Belgium for
burial. Dr. de Plouzoles was only 32 years
old.
THE MARQUIS AND HIS SILVER ABDOMEN.
General Marquis de Gallifet, one of the
most popular of the aristocratic soldiers of
France, has been appointed Ambassador
Extraordinary to England to represent his
country ab the Duke of York's' wedding.
He is is greats friend of the Prince of Wales.

GERMANY HAS SECOND PLACE.
Germany occupies the second place with
regard to the number of daily paper& hav-

papers. The oldest European newspaper
otiti published is the Post Zeitung, of Frank-
fort, which dates from 1616.

THE SMALLEST PAPER.
Borneo has the smelled regularly pub

The newopapero of Austria show'a greater
variety in this reaped than those of any
country, including in the liat German,
Italian, French, Magyar or Hungarian,
Greek, Latin, Polish, Servian, Shone and
Hebrew.
The moot remarkable paper is ha Ada,
and probably in the world as regards lan-
guage is the Ada Comparabionis Literarum
Universitatum, a semi-monthly review of
comparative literature, which has contribu-
tors in every' part of the world, whose
articles are all printed in their native
tongue.
In South America there are papers pub-
lished in various native languages, notably
in the Guarani of Paraguay. The Zulus,
even, had some years ago a paper in their

Provoked, it le said, by theexempla of
the horsemen who recently performed the
OM° feat, is number of pedestrians agreed
on a walking match between Berlin and
Vienna—a dietance of 150 miles. About
eeventy competitors presented themselves,
and although they were forbidden to walk
at night, the firot two covered the ground
at the rate of move than fine', miles a day.
They were both vegetarlans ; and all vege-
tartans point to the achievement as proof i
that their system of diet in no way nter.
feres with health or physical endurance. It
is no proof of health whatever; and as to
endurance, who that knew anything of the
subject ever pat forward any serious
doubt? If there is one thing certain
about the races which eat AO meat
it is that they can march. Thousands,
probably scores of thoueends, of Sikhs and
Hindostauees would have performed the
German feat, and nob have thought at the
and of it that they had done anything
wonderful, and they not only eat no meet,
but they are the deseendento of men who
have eaten no meat for perinea two thous.

would pronouace wholly insufficient to sus-
tain vigorous life. A regular Hindostanee
carrier, with is weight of 80 pounds on hie
shoulders—carried, of course, in two divi-
stone, hung on bis neok by a yoke—will, if
properly paid, lope along over a hundred
miles tsr twenby-four hours—a feat which
would exhaust any but the best trained
English runners.
Nor is the strength derived from is vege-
table did confined to any particular race.
Highlanders fed on milk and porridge are
the most active gamekeepers in the world;
and half a century ago the beat rough
masons in Scotland, the bed ploughmen in
England, were men reared on a diet in
whioh meat played no parb. Those facts
prove that men wen live and grow strong
when fed only on vegetarian food; but they
do not prove that Providence or evolution,
in providing ne with flesh -tearing teeth,
made a wasteful blunder.
The health of the vegetarian races is not
equal to that of the races which eat both
flesh and ferinaoeous food. They live, on
the average, at lead ten years less. They
die of disease much more readily --
so readily, that in the face of some dis-
eases, ;smallpox medially, they seem to have
no resisting power at all, and for certain
forms of exertion, especially those which
involve strain on the spine, they have noth-
ing like equal Womble. Ao to energy,
there is no comparison. The fiesh-eating
races have mastered the world, and the
Northern Addles, who eat race% have,
with their comparatively insignificant
numbers, conquered the innumerable
vegetarians of India whenever they have
invaded them. Indeed, when energy is
required as well as strength, the vege-
tarians instinctively recur to a flesh diet.
Our own miners eat much mean and there
is is carefully authenticated Indian story
which demo almost conclusive. A Hindoo
tribe contracted with the Peninsula
Railway Company to do the cutting
work essential for the ascent of the
railway over the Western Ghauts. The
work was terrible, and had to be done at
speed ; and o.fter a few weeka' experience
the tribe found it hopelessly beyond their
powers. As the pay was very good, and
their pride as workmen deeply involved,
they were almost in despair'but for-
tunately, the whole tribe, and nob a division
of it, had taken the contract. They called,
therefore, a caste meeting, decided that
during the continuance of the work they
were at liberty to eat beef, finished their
contract with perfect success and much pro -
fib, and were thenceforward strict vege-
tarians again, with intermissions for the
baoke dashed

lowing propositions as an aid to the reser-
vation of vision:

Don't send children to school before the
age of 10.
Don't allow children to keep their eyes
too long on a near object at any one time.
Don't allow them to study ranch by arti-
ficial light.
Don't allow them to read in is railway
carriage.
Don't allow boys to smoke tobacco,
opecially cigarette&
Don't necessarily ascribe headaches, to

cause.
Don't allow them to use books with small
type.
Don't allow the itinerant spectacle vendor
to prescribe glasses.

The Strange Adventure That Bet ell a
Traveller in Ceylon.
A most singular thin befell me near
Paradena, Ceylon, says an Austrian civil
engineer now travelling in America. I had
gone with a friend into elle great botanical
garden there. In this great garden, oddly
enough, there were many wild animals.
It was extremely warm, and I became tired
and stretched myself ore the ground under
some India -rubber trees. My friend
meantime len me, and I fell asleep.
• I mnat have slept an hour, when
suddenly I was awakened by a queer,
uncanny feeling and opened my eyes.
Judge of my surprise when I saw
perohed upon my feet, body and even upon
my shoulders:, is lot of little monkeys,
while all about me and beaming
down upon me from the trees wete monkeys
of all sizeo and ago& It seemed to me there
were myriads of them. I was frightened,
for I knew these monkeys were wild, and in
their wild state I did not know what so
many of them might do. I gave one leg a
twitch, however, and then the other' and
bounded to my feet, throwing off allthat
were gamboling over and about me. In a
second the monkeys vanished and only
peering from the tops of the tall bamboo
and rubber trees could I see any at all.
Even these did not remain long. It appears
that the queer animals meant no harm to
me. The coagress had been called, and
their examination of me as I lay upon the
ground was merely out of curiosity to divine
what kind of an object I was.

Endurance of Indian Careers.
White hunters who go up into the North-
ern woods are ourprieed at the toughness
and endurance of their Indian carriers and
guides. These fellows will carry a burden
of a hundred pounds for miles with less
grunting and complaint than would be
heard from is white man if he had to tarry
twenty pounds ever the wane distance. The
bulkier parcels they prefer to °retry on their
backs, sustaining the weight from their fore-
heads, is " tump strap," as theycall it,
keeping the load in place and their elbows
preventing it from mining. The Mexicans
carry ail their freight on the top of their
heads, and always go at a dead trot. A
porter carrying a 150 -pound trunk will go
• at is pace that the owner of the trunk can
hardly keep up with.
Is It a Clue to the Edy Murder?

clue to the Edymirderhas been discovered.
A fireman in the employ of the Boston &

bank bills stained with blood lying nes; the
round -house at Swanton, Vt. The theory
is that the murderer of the Edys passed
through Swanton on the early morning
train, and, finding that some of his plunder
was stained with blood, rolled the Boiled
