Postmaster Lee Looks Ten Years Younger Than His Seventy -Six Years and He Gives the Credit to the Great Cana- dian Kidney Remedy. Tabucintac, Cumberland Co., N. B., Feb 19.—(Special)—Horatio J. Lee,, postmas- ter here, is now in his seventy-sixth year but so bright and healthy does he look end so energetic is he in his movements that he would easily pass for ten years younger. "How do I keep young looking," the posrtmaster save -Well, I attribute it dnrgely to my goal health and my health is mainly due to the use of Dodd's -Kid- my :Pills. rI first learned the value of this Kid- ney Remedy some years ago. I was then suffering from Kidney Disease. My feet and legs swelled and I had to rise eight or ten times in the night because of urin- ary troubles. Six boxes of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills restored my health at that time and I have used thein at intervals since. "To anyone afflicted with Kidney Trouble, I say 'Dodd's Kidney Pills are all right.' Try them and you will be sure to find a benefit." ----- �m — A Small Boy's Complaint. I go to bed before it's dark, Aud lie and hear my doggie bark. His name is Budge, but he's a pup He's crying 'cause they chain him up. 1 wan to have him sleep with me, But mother's 'fraid I'll get a flea, Of course, that's only her excuse, Because for dogs she has no use. My father says a woman can Make things uncomfortable for man. He said it low, 'because, I fear, He was afraid that she would hear. Now what he says is always right, I often think of it at night, 'Cause mother is so awful neat, She always makes us wipe our feet, 'Cept when there's mud, our feet, you see, Are just as clean as they can be. And once I'm almost sure I heard My father say an awful word. He whipped so hard my brother Sam For saying—the word was damn. They had a game of bridge one day, Budge barked so loud they couldn't play. The ladies said that dogs and boys Got on their nerves, they made such noise, 'Twas then she said that Budge must go; Flow hard I cried she'll never know; I said to father, "Let's go, dad, And run away—she treats us bad." He had a twinkle in his eye Like he would laugh, while I would cry, Said he, "My son, we'll never find A mother who would be so kind," She kissed me awful hard that night And said, "My dear, 'twill all come right." That gave me comfort, what I heard, For mother never breaks her word. Tho' one thing sure, you bet your life When I'm a Tuan I'll have no wife, Tho' if I had to choose some other, With all her faults, I'd marry mother, She's lots of fun, and very sweet Her only fault is 'being neat. By that time Budge will grow so high 'That he won't have to howl and cry. Dad will live with us just the same, For she won't have to change her name, He says by then we'll be quite bold, She won't mind the dirt, she'll be too old. —New York Press. ORIGIN OF NEW YEAR CALLS. Strangely Enough, the Custom Began in China. The custom of making New Year's calls, which had a long- run in America and is still extant, came originally from China, where, says Leslie's Weekly, such calls are one of the main features of the brilliant and lengthy New Year's cele- bration. Every Chinaman 'pays a visit to each of his superiors and receives one from each of his inferiors. Images of gods are carried in procession to the beating of a deafening.gong, and manda- rins go by hundreds to the Emperor and that apparently much -maligned sover- eign, the Dowager Empress, with con- gratulatory addresses. Their robes are gorgeously embroidered and are heavy with gold. The younger people call upon the elder. Children call upon their par- ents, pupils pay their respects to their teachers. A light collation is offered every visitor, but, it is to be noted, no wine is served. Tea takes the place of any stronger drink. In China gentlemen never call upon the ladies, but upon each other, and the women also make social visits among themselves. Nor is one obliged, happily, to make all his calls on one day, for all calls made before the 15th of the month are considered correct. These calling customs have obtained in China from earliest ages. Bible Needed in the Pulpit. (St. Paul, Kan., Journal.) We hear much talk about putting the bible in the schools. If the sermons pub- lished in the newspapers may be taken as a guide in the bible should be put back in the pulpit first. For 33 Years Shiloh's Consumption Cure, the Lung Tonic, has been before the public, and this, together with the fact that its sales have steadily increased year by year, is the best proof of the merit of Shiloh as a cure for Coughs, Colds, and dl diseases of the lungs and air passages. Those who have used Shiloh would not be without it. Those who have never used it should know that every bottle is sold with a positive guarantee that, if it doesn't cure you, the dealer will refund what you paid for it. Shiloh las C .red thousands of the most obstatate cases of Coughs, Colds and Lung troubles. Let it cure you.

While at his summer residence Mark Twain prepared one evening to take a drive, and expecting to remain out until late, told his hostler that he need not wait for him. He instructed the man, however, when he had finished bis work to lock the stable and place the key under a stone, the location of which Mr. Clemens described with much exactness. When the humorist reached home after his drive, he was surprised to find that the key was not in the place selected. He was obliged to rouse the hostler, who explained, as he started for the missing key, "Mr. Clemens, I found a better place to hide it." THE PRESIDENT A SLAVE TO CA- TARRH.—D. T. Sample, president of sample's Instalment Company, Washington, writes: "For years I was afflicted with Chronic Catarrh, Remedies and ,treatment by specialists only gave ms temporary relief until I was induced to use D, Agnew's Catarrhal Powder. It gave almost instant relief. 50 cents. -49 Effect of Forests on Rivers. At the recent meeting of the international navigation congress at Milan some interest- ing data were furnished respecting the in- fluence which the destruction of forest ex- erts ou the 'discharge of rivers. A summary of seven important papers read at the con- gress shows that it was allowed by all the authors of these papers that the removal of torests, especially in hilly countries, has a marked effect on the water suppy of thel neighboring rivers. Where deforestation has taken place brooks have disappeared and small rivers once furnishig power for mills Ls ave ceased to be sufficient for this pur- 000e. ®e e.

Just put half a dozen. lumps of sugar in your pocket and eat them when reu get tired and hun- gry. You will at once find your strength and freshness renewed. This is what Dr. Lee, professor of phrsiology at Columbia uni- versity, and author of several important works on the vita, processes of life, firmly asserts. Fatigue, according to Professor Lee, is the result of certain chemical ohanges in the body. due to muscular exertion. Sugar, taken .internally, arrests and prevents these changes. The sugar, to be specific, replen- ishes the carbohydrates that are wasted by exertion and causes the fatigue due to this waset to disappear. The publisher of the best Farmer's pa- per in the Maritime Provinces in writing to us states: "1 owuld say that. 1 do not know of a medicine that has stood. the test of time like MINARD'S LLNNTMENT. It has been an unfailing remedy in our household ever since I can remember, and has out- lived dozens of would-be competitors and imitators." Explanation Accepted. (Philadelphia Ledger.) "Before you pass sentence, you Honor," began the prisoner accused of inebriation, "I would like to say that the .arresting po- lie man bit me with a club." Frowning the Court demanded explanation. "May it please your Honor," said the of - toter, 'I found the man so full of fighting whiskey that I had to tap." This was regarded .as exoneration. w,- c ENOLIS 1SPAYIN LINIMENT Removes all liard, soft or eallpused lumps and blemishes from horses, blood spavin, curbs, splints, ringbone, sweeney, stifles, sprains, sore and swollen throat, coughs, etc. Save $50 by use of one bot- tle.

Lever Brothers Limited, Toronto VOIIIMIagag SCHOOLBOYS' IDEAS. In educational Clapham, the well- known Manor House School, Mr. S. Max- well, M. A., principal, holds a meeting place, and at the prize -giving, the other day by the Rev. Canon Greene, a very high ,standard of uteric was disclosed. Everywhere ,that boys congregate the in- evitable "howler" raises at tunes its un- ashamed head, and some examples of school production were instanced which were most amusing. Thus: Answer—Lord Kelvin ,was a noted preacher of the Gospel in Scotland. Lord Kelvin was a leader of the Puri- tans in the reign of Charles 1. He was succeeded by John Knox. Lord Kelvin is the new Viceroy of In- dia. He was once Colonel Secretary and Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company. Question --What is a city ? Answer—It is a place where there is a lot of work done, and a town is a place where shops are. Question What about the Pyramids? Answer—Pyramids are people who sing. The Pyramitf are a range of mount- ains dividing Fiince from Spain. Question rm) "was Dr. Barnardo ? Answer—He.tried to find the North Pole. e To an inquiry, "Who was Drake?" one answer given was, "A kind of duck." A Mortifying Moment. Every time we think of false teeth we are reminded of old Father Whitling, Baptist preacher at Council Grove, Ile was preaching ono night when he abruptly turned his face in the direction of the choir and sneezed. Ile sneezed awfully bard and then looked wist- fully in the direction of the choir. His „Balsa teeth were lying und%r the organ stool. None of the singers were gallant enough to return the ghastly things, and Brother Whiting was compelled to go after them. It was a morti- fying moment for the good old man. Thoughtful. Nell—Oh, my!

Frequently typographical errors creep into newspapers, and the result is often hum- orous, bringing forth many a laugh, even on serious subjects. The Tribune has had more than its share of the blunders of late. Last week "we' got items "all balled up" in the rush to get out ,the paper. The effect was startling, and If the Tribune had been believed the laws of nature would have had to be suddenly reversed. It was all canned by transposing a couple lines of type. J. D. Curry, one of our most respected citizens, has been 111 for some time with rheumatism. The Tribune made the startling atatement that as a result of his sickness he had giv- en birth to a twelve -pound boy. As a mat- ter of fact that boy belonged over is the home of ,Samuel Cox. In the item relating to the birth of Mr. and Mra. Cox's twelve -pound boy The Tri- bune said it happened "while the whistle blew." Now, of course, it is possible that a whistle was blowing at the time, but we doubt it. That line referring to the whistle blowing should have been under the item about Riley earring .the dynamite. Tho Tribune sincerely regrets the blunder. 4b 0 Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. Dinkeuspielers. Luck vas a good ding to trust in—if you ain'd got much of a appetite.
