On the seventh of the month the dead body of an old lady was diseovett'ad On,the river bank at Stockholm. She had succumbed to cold and hun- ger. Around her were howling piti- fully her fourteen dogs, It appears that the lady's name we''s Mile. Her- fnanson, She was one of two sis- ters who were once wealthy, but who, owing to having been involved in alaw suit, had lost all their money, and were reduced to extreme poverty. They had always lil't'ed dogs, of which they never had less than a dozen. Rather than .give them up, one or the other of the sisters went to prison each year in default of paying the dog -tax. This hardship had ended by killing ole of the old ladies, the other, leaving reached the end of her resources, had lived in the open for eight days with her pets before death relieved her from her miseries, Jules Roux, a sixteen year old boy, whose home is in e village in the Pyrenees, was ar rested in Paris one day in April last, as being without visible means of subsistence. The boy could give no clear account of himself, but was able to write down the address of his parents, who were communicated with. Investigation proved that, five years before, the unlucky Jules was bitten severely by a deg. E,v- ery year since, at about the anni- versary of the time lie received the injury, he is affected with a periodi- cal madness during which he is not responsible for his actions. He usually wanders oil and gets into trouble of some kind or another, and ends up in gaol or workhouse. The :-worst of it is that he is so cunning gender the influence of this brain 'trouble that it is practically im- possible to keep him at home.

Mr. Prod J. Melville entertained a Leaden audience lately with same anecdotes of the work of the .'ort Office. The lecturer told of a letter wtich eould not be delivered, and which, when opened at the Returned Letter 01ileo, was found to colntain a long list of sad troubles. Slut the writer struck one note .of gladness at the end of the opietle in the sent- ence, "Thank God the pig had ten young ones." In the Blind Letter Office the officials hada letter ad- dressed to "Uncle John, Hopposite the Church, London, Hingland," This was not delivered, but another ono was. It 'vas addressed thus: "To my sister, Jean, up the Can- nougate, Down e. Close, Edinburg: She has a wooden leg," The last part of the address, was doubtless a clue, In the telegraph d art me n t theyget curious messages also. One young married man hurried to wire interesting news to his wife's rela- tives, In his haste he announced, "Twins to -day, more to -morrow." DOG AND CAT PERIL, Considerable excitement has been caused in England by the statement of a physician that dogs and cats can very easily transmit smallpox from one person to another, and that consequently they should never be allowed to remain near persons who aro suffering from this disease. On no account, says this physician, should a dog or a cat be allowed to enter a room in which there is a smallpox patient, and, indeed, it would be well, as soon as this dis- ease declares itself, to remove all such animalsto some other dwelling. at Vienna has recently been suffering from one of these periodical crimin- als, who, like Roux, is probably a lunatic. Tho man, whose name is Paul Nemeth, and who is a Hungar- ian by birth, became possessed years ago of a delusion that the British were seeking to kill him, and that his only hope of escape lay in pos- sessing himself of valuables belong- ing to Britain as . a pledge against further attacks. Accordingly, in September, 1891, he broke into the Embassy, and committed a bur- glary. He was caught, and shut up in a lunatic asylum. A little less than two years later, he was dis- charged as cured. In September, 1808, he again burglarized the Em- bassy. This time he got a year in. prison. Yet as soon as he got out be committed a similar cringe again, and consequently he was once more sent to the asylum. He seems, how- ever, to have escaped, for, two years ago, the September burglaries re- commenced, and the man was not caught. But last year a careful watch was kept, and Nemeth will probably not have another chance of committing his favorite crime. There is a case on record of a man, apparently sane, committing or attempting to commit a crime on a certain .anniversary each year. This was the Sicilian brigand, Ber- et'. It appears that an Italian landowner, named Mario, was "held up" by Barati some ten or twelve years ago. Mario, who is a power- ful man, proved too much for his adversary, and gave him a terrific thrashing, incidentally blinding him in one eye. The brigand, when he recovered, conceived the melodra- matic idea of revenging himself upon Mario on the anniversary of the en- counter. On the first occasion he failed, solely owing to the accident of Mario being away from home, but the next year he succeeded in setting fire to the enemy's house, and burn- ing it to the ground. Shortly after- wards Barati was caught and sent to prison for ten years, but he is said to have sworn to carry out his revenge, if he and Mario both are alive at the end of his term. ANOTHER ANNUAL TRAGEDY of crime is reported from Milan. There Lived there, ten years ago, a family of nine persons, relations of the famous Italian composer, Ross- ini. In 1892, the father committed suicide. Next year one of his sons took his own life. In 1895 a daugh- ter perished by her own hand. So, year by year, the family diminished until, in 1901, the mother, the last left alive, threw herself from a fourth -storey window, and was pick- ed up dead. A. certain American colonel, named iWClear, who was shockingly wound- ed at the Battle of Bull Run in 1862, and who wall lives in New York, must also be included among the once -a -year criminals. Every August there comes upon the miter - testate. man a most appalling attack of neuralgia, the pain of which drives him mad for the time being, and results in fits of violence during which he has several times injured servants or attendants. A.t other times, Colonel M'Clear is as peace- ful and even-tempered a man as Weld be met. The gentleman, who, on a certain date each autumn, visits the Thames pollee court, and usually offers some shall present to Mr, Dickinson, is a living proof that a mean can. reform at any age. For a long period this man was up before the magistrate tat ones, but Malty times a year, al- ways oe. the game charge of drunk- enness, Suddenly, four years ago, hp pulled up and reformed: Ztls annual visit to the scene of his old humilia- tions is to assure the ,magistrate that he has been able during the past twelve months to keep his pledge of temper.8nce..'I'eftrson'a Weekly.

The best of doctors and many dif'ereut kinds of medicine failed to help ate, and my friends all thought I was go- ing into rapid consumption. I had no appetite, was forced to take to bed, and felt that only death would release me. My brother urged lar to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and to please him I began them. A few boxes proved they were helping me, and I began to get real strength.. I continued the use of the pills and was soon able to leave my bed cynd sit up. I grew stronger day by day.

A lady in Buda-Pesth recently gave a charitable lunch party to the poor of her district. She placed no limit on the number of invitations, and the result was that 8,000 people ar- rived, all eager for the treat, Event- ually the police had to draw their sabres to keep order among the re- veller's. There were no two opinions about the success of the function. The guests to a man declared that they had never assisted at so in- tense ntense and exciting a lunch before in their lives. They were quite cut up when the time came to go. DIE TO GET SEALSKINS, Common soaps destroy the clothes and render the hands liable to eczema.

Hunting the seal from the icy, storm swept coast of Newfoundland is not srort ; it is toil, whereby in part the Newfoundlander wins his scanty measure of bread. The hunt is a slaughter, dull and hideous—a leap into the whining and scurrying pack, and the swinging anh thrust of an iron shod gaff, a merciless raining of blows, with a silent waste of ice all splashed with red at the end of it. There is no sport in this, nor is there any fear of hurt, for the seal pleads and whines like a child, even while the gats is fall- ing ; but the chase is beset with multitudinous . and unforeshadowed perils. The wind gathers the ice into hoes and jams it against the coast, an immeasurable, jagged expanse of it interspersed with plains ; then the Newfoundlander takes his gaff and his food and his goggles and sets out from his little harbor, starting at midnight that he may come up with the pack at dawn. But the wind which sweeps the ice in inevitably sweeps it out again without warning in an hour, or a day, or a week ; nor does it pause to consider' the situation of the men who are twenty miles off shore. It veers and freshens and drives the whole mass,' grinding and heaving, far out to sea, where it disperses it into its separate fragments. The lives of the hunters depend upon the watchfulness of the at- tenuated line of lookouts, from the women on the headland to the first sentinel within signaling distance. HOW TO MAKE BABY SLEEP. You can make baby sleep by giv- ing him laudanum or the "sooth- ing" stuffs which invariably con- tain opiates. But no sensible mo- ther will do that. The way to make baby sleep happily and in cam - fort is to take away the cause of his wakefulness. This cause is located in his little inside — nowhere else. Babies seldom have anything the matter with them but their stom- aabs, and it is safe to say that the baby who cries unseasonably is com- plaining of his stomach. There is no ailment of a baby's stomach that ;Baby's Own Tablets will not cure fright away. They make baby cheer- ful and happy and give him sound natural sleep—not the drugged sleep produced by soothing..stuixs. Mrs. Wm. Smdt, Listowell, Ont., says: "My baby used to be very restless arid sleepless, but since giving him ,Baby's Own Tablets, he Is better `natured, sleeps better and is better din every way." These Tablets cure all the minor ailments of little ones, ,and can be given to the very young - ;est baby. You can get them from any druggist, or they will be sent post paid at 25 conte a box by writing direct to the Dr. Willlanhs' Medicine_ do., Br ol1ckville, Out • A HOME Rawslint.

ARRESTED UNDER NATE1Q. Lance -Sergeant Murphy, of the Singapore Water Police visited a barge moored off the boat -quay to arrest two notorious gamblers who lead taken refuge there. The gamblers however, immediately dived under water. Sergeant Murphy followed, found the two criminals lying flat on the mud at the bottom of the har- bor, seized hold of them and brought both to the surface. IIe then swam with his captives to some steps, and took thein to the police station. St. Jacobs Oil is a physician's formula, established Silty years; the pain soothing virtues are so evenly balanced as to meet all cases whore pain exists, and where an outward application is generally applied. St. Jacobs Oil is truly worth its weight in gold, even for the cure of nerve pains (and pretty well all bodily chains proceeding from the nerves). It illustrates how wonderfully the essential elements are combined; its marvellous penetrating power en- abies it to seek -out the painful spot In the sciatic nerve, deeply embed- ded, as well as the face and brain tacrves.

It acts like magic, it always conquers pain, NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.. A Berlin paper points to the re- cent success of the so-called "Hetol" treatment of consumption, the dis- covery of Professor Landerer, one of the • surgeons on the ' stall of the Stuttgart Hospital. The professor has named his remedy after his wife's name, I•1eta.. The treatment consists in the injection of dense mite of soda into the veins of the sufferers. It has been found effica- cious even in advanced eases of tu- berculosis. Professor Landerer made his treatment known some years ago, but the medical world took but lit- tle notice of it. However, he him- self quietly worked on, making great pecuniary sacrifices the while for the establishing of his method.

The Manager, Officers and staff have discharged their duties to the satisfaction of the Board, and in the best interests of the Company., The Agents continue to merit the commendation of the Directors and Policyholders, for their loyalty and the success attending the year's work. Tho Executive Committee has again examined all the securities and eom>pared then with the records, all of which were found correct, and in aecordance with the statement herewith submitted. Tho following Directors retire by expiry of term of office but all are eligible for re-election: Sir F. W. Borden, W. .1. Kidd, William Snid- er, and Robert Melvin.
