A Record In Wrie One of the oldest and certainly 1Y the most distinguished of journalists still in harness is- Sir Edward Rus- sell. He'has witnessed many strange revolutions in the newspaper world. IIe began his.. career when the tele- graph was regarded as of little .use for the transmission of news, when the journalist was compelled to work under more laborious conditions than he does to -day, The amount of work Sir Edward was accustomed to turn out will as- tound any person who has any ac- quaintance with the writing profes- sion. "For four. years," he asserts, "while I was on The Morning. Star, Imade $5,500 a year, and -I was rare- ly paid more than a guinea a col- umn." From this it follows that Sir Edward Russell turned out some three 'columns a day, or about thirty thousand words a week. Now the length of the average novel does not usually exceed sixty thousand words so that during these four years Sir Ed -ward turned out an amount of work equal to over eighty hovels. Lit- erary aapirants it- erary'aspirants may well -gaze on this picture—and refrain from doing like- wise. PIMPLES Are an "EYE E,YE .' SORE" .'17 OR lite Pimples are caused by.the 'blood being. out of order. e'Those little festering sores appear on the forehead, on the nose, on the chin and other parts of the body, and although they;,are not a dangerous trouble they are very unsightly to both you andyour. friends. There is only one way to get rid of them, and that is to purify the blood. Burdock Blood Bitters is without a doubt the best remedy on the market for this purpose, Wm. P. Donohue, Jr., Hamilton, Ont., writes;, --"About six months ago my little son's face was literally covered with pimples. I tried every preparation I was told of by my friends, but to no avail. Soon I thought I could not have them •heed up, and would have to wait, and let him grow out of them, but thanks to, Burdock Blood Bitters they are all gone, and I gladly recommend it to anyone." Burdock Blood Bitters is manufac tured solely by The T. Milburn Co Limited'; Toronto, Out. Ennui; That's "Punishment, No greater punishment than ennui?

One of the farmers in Som- erset county, Ale., who have been able to do this most successfully is F. E. Davis. He has received as big a yield as 800 bushels per acre' in some in- stances and on the whole 300 -to 500. bushels per acre He tells his story how he did it, which `many farmers would do well to follow. He writes in the American Cultivator as follow.: 1►(1 �• i► t ,, 111. Elea l_. h I. ill melee to. lf'l.i `TrBi%iflf my10r'.. vershoes Rubbers and Over -Stockings hi One.

Huge Boards Left by Misers Whe Lived in Squalor.. • The miser presents a strange prob- lem to the student of human nature. Surrounded by dirt and squalor, these singular creatures are often possessed of wealth sufficient not merely to provide the necessities of life but such luxurie3 as only the rich can afford. 3t was only recently that the dis- covery was made at Hall (Eng,) of two women, both possessed of con- siderable means, vvilo died amid the "boost squalcr and poverty. Both had their abode in hovels in solve. vile slum, and ate just sufficient food to keep them barely alive. When one died her hovel had to be disinfeeted, and upoe the paper of the room being stripped from the wall, a - mouse-nibb,ed '• bankbook which showed the possessor to be worth 2500, was discovered. The case of the other woman' was even more extraordinary.
