A gaffer sat by hie Christmas fire, And these were the words that soothed his ire : "Christmas is not like it was long ago, Field and roadside heaped with snow, Wind that nipped your cheeks and ears And made your eyes distil in tears And Yule log fires in a monstrous grate, A.lsvays going early and late ; And perhaps some toddy in a kettle, To keep Us all in the finest fettle. And appetites I you never felt .6. dinner heavy beneath your belt. But now I'm racked by indigestion And every mouthful I mast question. The lightest turkey weighs like lead, Plum -pudding sends me off to bed, And a little toddy turns my head. Sitting here in my big arm chair, My feet in slippers—a velvet pair— The room with oarpet thick as moss,' I feel, in some ways, gain is lose, And I sigh for the hut in the backwoods clearing, With none of your fixings and fanny gearing I sigh for the days of hobnailed boots, For the howl of the wolves—the pesky brutoe— For the stout oak walls and the wooden floor, And never a knob to never a door. A latch and a iat:h•siring did the job, And the kettle simmering on the hob— Will give me fifty years ago, Field and roadside heaped with snow, Myself with longe of seasoned leather, And never wheezingab wind or weather, Give me the hopes, the joys, the feare, That I've -left behind me fifty years."

Pale and Emaciated, Sabering from lis• cruclatlna Pains In Ilse Back, bl8,, he. name 0 burden land Death was Ikoutthu to be net lin• air, From the St. hatter/nee Journal. 10 is a curious pathological foot that spinal complaint has sometime actually been mistaken for Bright's disease, and there is no doubt many have been mal• treated for Bright's disease when spinal trouble was the real malady, Geo. T. Smith, pedlar, of St. Catharines, is one who thus Buffered. IIis narrative is as follows :—"In the fall of 1894 I began to experience alarming symptoms of what I thought to be spinal trouble. I resorted to lotions, plasters and other remedies, but to no avail, as I Continued to grow worse. Ab this point my friends advised the serviette of a physician, which I glad- lysubmitted to. The professional man made a minute examination, and pro- nounced mine a case of Bright's disease, whioh quite naturally gave me a severe shook, as I deemed the death sentence bad been passed upon me. The doctor. said he Could alleviate my sufferings, but remarked that it would only be a matted of time with me. However, I accepted his medicine, and took it according to directions with no beneficial results. Is the meantime a friend procored a remedy said to he a core for Bright's disease. This medioine I took, but with no effect whatever. Ten months had passed away and .2 had become so haggard, emaciated, stooped and miserable that my friends had difficulty in recognizing me. In foot they, like myself, harbored to most pain- ful apprehensions. At this juncture an aunt came to visit me, and strongly ad. vised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Lille a drowning man reaching for a straw I did so. To my great surprioe I soon noticed au improvement, the train in my back began to leave, my appetite im- proved, my oolor returned, and by the time I had used eight boxes not an ache or pain remained, and I am as able to travel about to -day as previous tattle attack. I know that I owe my restora- tion to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I urge those ill or suffering to give then a trial. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In oases of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, eorofulous troub• lee, eta., these pills are superior to all utter treatment, They are also a spec/ilia for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and epeedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or exoeeses, will find in Pink Pills a certain ogre.

Bailey, f Denver, general passenger agent of the Colorado Midland Railroad, has pre. sented the park commissioners with a fine cinnamon bear. He dooan't claim much oredit for hip generosity, however, as be was as glad to get rid, of bruin as the park people were to receive him. One of the agents of the railroad caught the animal -in Pitkin county and sent it to Mr. Bailey for a Thanksgiving gift, but forgot to notify him of the fact. When bruin reached the exptette office it broke loose and was recaptured after '1 great trouble. Then the uprose people telephoned Mr, Bailey- asking him what to do with It. He was busy, and nob clearly understanding what it was, order- ed it to be sent to his house. 'Then he alet the matter pose from hie mind. An hoar later there was another excited ring- ing of the telephone bell. Mr. Bailey answered it, anti found that his wife was at the other end of the line. "Come home at once," she said ; "there's a big hear in the oellar, and it has taken all the preserve jars, and has the children nearly frightened to death," Calling a nab, Mr. Bailey jumped in and ordered the driver to go to ,Oapltol Hill in the sborbest possible time, The foam•fleoked horses dashed up to the door of Mr. Bailey'e home, and he sprang ottt of the cab. He foxed all bhs, children of the neighborhood gathered aronnd the house, and at tho head of Them his own four hopefuls, who were as proud ae peacocks over the unexpected. event. Down into the cellar fir. Bailey weut, Theooerteay of the visit was approolated by the bear. It heel been fasting 48 hours. Advanc• ing to meet Mr. Bailey in cue a demon• ebrative way,the bear was surprised to. deo him leap into a coal bin, then climb a stepladder. In this way he gained the cellar steps, whioh had been out off by the bear at first. The bear followed him, and with one reach of anoubstrebelt. ed forepaw, left Mr. Bailey's trouoers in ruin, Mr. Bailey readied the bask doer a step ahead of the bear, and when both got out into the yard there was another ettugglo. A, chain was on Go bear, and in the inoideute that orowded each, other antickly ib beeatno wrapped about Mr, T'RE BRUSSELS Dailey'slegs. The hear pulled away end Mr. Bailey fell The children howled with delight and lire. Bailey screamed, With the ready wit 0' a womsm, she ran into the hoose, Rot n basket of grapes end another of apples, and set 'them before the bear. It eat open its haunohes and greedily emptied the baskets, While it was engaged, Air, Bailey got loose and tied the bear to a pole, Finishing the fruit, the bear started to walk around. After nearly strangling itself 10 gent!, by twisting its chain about the pole, it lay clown for a needed rest, Next morn. fag at 6 o'olook it broke loose and was found olcirmishing around the neighbor- hood 'for brealifaeb, It was caught and more 000nrely fastened. With hie face covered with oorabohes, hair missing from bis whiskers, and one leg lamed, Mr. Bailey called 011 the Denver Park oommiosionero, He generously donated to them for the use of the people of Den. ver, one cinnamon beer.

The days of the small eggs are numbered. If breeds were kept that produce larger and better eggs, the already large busi- ness with the English market would be greatly increased. Thousands upon thousands of barrels of apples are still on the trees in the vicinity of Ridgeway,• Ont., and will never be picked. They comprise the ohoioeet kinds of fruits, suoh as Bald- wins, russets and greenings. The best prices that farmers in this section could get was 40 cents a barrel. Many refused to sell at this prioe, preferring to let the fruit fall to the ground and rot. Several farmers are feeding the product of their orchard to their stook. Apple buyers practically refused to handle more than a limited amount of the fruit, fearing no market could be secured, BRUSSELS P111 WORKS.
