Por six years, I suffered from dreadful Kidney Disease. Illy legs and lower part of my body were fearfully swollen. The pain in my side and legs would be so bad that I would faint with the agony. Five different doctors attended me and all said it was lCidney Disease and gave me no Hope of getting well, A kind neighbor visited me and mentioned the case of Mrs. Fenwick who had been cured of a sickness like mine, 1 took "Fruit-a-tives" and in a short time, I began to feel better -the swelling went down -the pains were easier -and soon T was well. I have gained over 3o pounds since taking "Pruit-a-tives"-and my friends look upon my recovery as a miracle." (Miss) MAGGIB JANNACK.

Baron Martin, a famous English SU* riot of the cid school, whose native leniency and sense of fun often placed him at the mercy of the very men he was trying, was once about to een- tenet) an old offender charged with a petty theft, According to Lord Bratnp- ton's reminiscences, "Loots," said the baron, with an as- sumption a# severity; "I hardly know what to do, but you can talc' six months." "i can't take that, my lord; it's too much," said the prisoner respectfully, but firmly "I can't take It. Your lordship sees. I didn't steal very much, after all," The baron Indulged in one of his low, chuckling laughs before replying. "Well, that's veiiia true. Ye didn't steal much," he said. "Well, then, ye can tut' four months, Will that do - four months?" "Nay, my lord, but 1: can't take that, neither," was the reply. "Then tak' three." "'hut's nearer the mark, my lord," the prisoner said approvingly. "But I'd rather you made It two, if you will be so kind." "Vera well, then, tak' two," said the Judge, with the nir of one wbo Is pleased to have done the right thing at last. "Aad, mind, don't come again. If you do I'11 give ye -well, It all de- pends!" DYNAMITE AS IT EXPLODES. it Follows, as Lightning Does, the Line of Least Resistance. it is the popular impression that dy- namite seeks the line of greatest re- sistance. Place a quantity of black powder on a rock and light It with a fuse. It will flash, simply scorching the stone. Place a piece of dynamite on the same rock, and the rock will be shattered; hence the reasoning that dynamite follows the line of greatest resistance. Nothing could he further from the truth, however. The black powder takes Bre and explodes much more slowly than the dynamite, so that the elastic air that meioses it, as It does everything, gives way gradually and the force is lost in the atmosphere. With dynamite the explosion has been so sudden, the attack on the air so in- stantaneous, that for a fraction of a second it actually resists. The force of the dynamite is so tremendous that it cannot wait, and it is turned into the rock, which for the Instant becomes the line of least resistance. An illustration of this may be seen during a display of lightning. A fork of it strikes across the sky. It packs the nir so densely that it can no longer make rapid progress in that direction, and it turns aside to follow the line of least resistance. It cannot wait for the air to yield. I t is the same with dyna- mite.-Etarper's Weekly. The Hazel Tree, A curious survival of the days when the magicians of Europe sought inde- fatigably for the philosopher's stone is the superstition that attaches to the hazel tree. The old alchemists used to make their divining rods out of hazel twigs, and they fostered the be- lief that it would mysteriously direct its owner to bidden treasgres if it was manipulated with the absolute faith that was required in all those occult enchantments of the middle ages. As time went on the "rod of Jacob." as a branch of hazel was universally known, gathered new powers. Not only would it lend to the discovery of buried hoards, but it would also act as an In- fallible agent in locating runaway servants and escaped criminals. It was a sure guide to underground springs as well and was an unfailing charm against the lightning. Utilized the Visitor. Decamps, the famous French painter, had a studio located on the top floor of a building in Paris. A visitor to see the artist paused one day before going up to inquire if Ili. Decamps were in. Re- ceiving an affirmative reply, he was jest starting up the stairs when the concierge called after him: "As you are about visiting M. De- camps, perhaps you will be se kind as to carry up these trousers that i have just brushed." When, a few moments later, the bell of the studio rang, Decamps opened the door and found on the threshold his Wantland patron, the Duke of Orleans, heir to the French throne, wbo smiling iy presented him with his newly brushed trousers. .�;tit Mre.

Prof, Todd of the Provincial Secre- tary's Department, who is superin- tending the agricultural work at the Guelph and Whitby farms, reports an experiment recently tried to rid the land of wild mustard. A place com- prising one hundred acres was selected near Brockville this summer, which was sown in barley and oats. The land was sprayed with a diluted solution of sulphate of copper. After a few weeks had elapsed an examination was made, and Prof. Todd reports that every trace of the wild mustard has disap- peared. To test the value of this treat- ment other sections of the Province will be selected next year and the same method applied, in the hope of ridding the entire agricultural district of this weed pest. Its Awful, "What is home without a paper?" A home without a newspaper is no home at all. It is a kind of dreary den -a rendezvous of bed bugs and fleas, where the inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of what the world is doing, It is inhabited by a class who do not know who is president or what he is president ofwhonever find out that a thing has happened until long after everyone else has forgotten it. The children grow up in rags and dirt, while the wife generally finds consola- tion in darning socks and lugging a pipe loaded with long, green tobacco, and the man generally lives because he can't die and is too lazy to kill himself, He goes out on election days, and does not know who he is voting for, but just takes the ticket bearing the name his great grandfather voted for. +k+3+ 44.4.+4.4.4.++4.•i• 4.44444.4.444441041.44.-4.4.444.++++ 4 it 3" 1 The Times 4.o * ,, 4. 4. .... 4.
