Many T'ire's, Wrecks and Explosions Due to Nice and In- sects.•, Only a, week or two back the an- cient Swan Hotel at Ipswich was destroyed by a fire, which origi- nated through rats gnawing lucifer- matches. The `sudden appearance of a hilarious mouse among the oc- cupants of the gallery of the Vic- toria Theatre, Westminster, in 1858, started a panic which restated in the, death of fifteen people, says London Answers. A few mischiev- ous lads dug a "brigand's cave" at the base of the big dam which ,con- fined the waters of the South Fork reservoir above Johnstown, Penn- sylvania, and so weakened it• that the entire massive structure gave way, and six thousand persons were drowned. A mongrel cur strayed on to the St. Leger course some years ago, just as the • field swept by.

Mrs. Norman L. Dow 'fells What .They Have Done for Her -People Talking of Thein on Etery Side. Port Daniel West, Bonaventure Co., Que., Mar. 11 (Special).— Bonaventure County is ringing with the great work done • by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and on every side people are telling their neighbors of aches relieved and ills cured by the great Canadian kidney remedy. To the great mass of evidence already published is now added that of Mrs. Norman L. Dow of this place :— "I can recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as an excellent remedy for rheumatism and palpitation of the heart," said Mrs, Dow; "After using one box I was greatly bene- fited." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure rheu- matism and palpitation of the heart, because they both come from the same cause—impure blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the kid. neys right, and when the kidneys are right they strain all the poison and impurities out of the blood. Cure the kidneys With Dodd's Kidney Pills and you can't have such diseases as rheumatism or pal- pitation of the heart. NO BREAKFAST QUESTION. Old Health Authority Said Eng– lish Climate Required It.

Since deep-sea dredging began, more than six hundred species of deep-sea fishes have been discov- ered, all of a more or less wonder- ful nature; but it is very rarely that large fishes are taken. The net on the, bottom, dragged along by a wire three or four miles long, Catches only the very sluggish forms; the large and active animals dart away and escape as the strange objept'comes bumping along over the . bottom, ` or ploughing through the ooze. Off the .coast of Scotland a curious ribbon -fish, with a length of more than forty feet, hasbeen caught—a beautiful crea- ture, of satin texture, with scarlet fins, That this fish comes from the deep sea is almost positive.
